    Description: Join Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actress, singer and comedian Jane Lynch as she rings in the holidays with a heartfelt and fun performance of A Swingin’ Little Christmas! — featuring poignant and hilarious takes on classic holiday tunes as well as nostalgia-inspired originals penned by bandleader Tony Guerrero. Lynch, known for her iconic role on “Glee” and her Broadway debut as Miss Hannigan in “Annie,” is joined by her comedic sidekick and actress Kate Flannery (“The Office”) as well as Tim Davis, “Glee’s” vocal arranger. The trio’s delightful threepart harmonies and onstage banter shine even brighter when backed by the incredible jazz band, the Tony Guerrero Quintet. A Swingin’ Little Christmas! has the sentimental feeling to put you in the holiday spirit, mixed with the zany fun that is Lynch’s M.O. Submitted by: Todd Holmberg McCain Performance Series
