A Carol For Two heads to Broadway on Hallmark Channel
According to the official synopsis, A Carol For Two tells the story of talented singer, Violette Wagner (Mason), who is new to New York City and is determined to make it on Broadway. However, she needs to pay her rent because she is not currently in a production. Violette takes a job as a singing waitress at Fiore’s. The restaurant is in the theater district and is known for its singing wait staff. Moreover, this is where undiscovered singing talent gets their big break.
As she starts to get a step closer, Violette is set to sing at Fiore’s annual Christmas Eve concert, which attracts everyone in the community. She gets to sing with Alex (Jordan Litz), but he isn’t her first choice. Meanwhile, he resents Violette as she is a friend of the Fiore family and thinks this is why she got the job.
Moreover, Violette and Alex keep moving up the ranks as more people are picked for Broadway productions and they are practicing together a lot. Meanwhile, Alex’s cousin, Brad (Gino Anania), is interested in Violette but doesn’t have the charm to win her over.
However, Alex offers to feed him some smooth lines, “Cyrano-style” and soon, Brad and Violette start to date. Regrettably, Alex finds he is falling for her himself and their story has become a love triangle.
Meanwhile, matters come to a head when their deception is revealed, which threatens Violette and Alex’s big opportunity.
