Jane Lynch and Kate Flannery's Swingin' Little Christmas Special


By Maddie Orton, JerseyArts.com

originally published: 12/09/2021


Jane Lynch may be best known for her Emmy-winning portrayal of the acerbic, Glee Club-hating Sue Sylvester, but she is currently touring with a sentimental send-up of '50s and '60s TV Christmas specials. Coming to New Jersey Performing Arts Center this week, "A Swingin' Little Christmas!" stars Jane Lynch and features Kate Flannery of "The Office," "Glee" Music Director Tim Davis, and The Tony Guerrero Quintet.

Tune in as Maddie talks with Lynch about her love of classic holiday specials, how she met Kate Flannery, and her upcoming role in "Funny Girl" on Broadway.
