It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... At least on the Hallmark Channel anyway. One of the perks of the holidays feeling like they start earlier every year is that we get holiday movies long before fall is over. The Hallmark Channel has one of the most thorough assortments of yuletide films, with 40 new ones airing this holiday season. While theatres are dark, some of our favorite musical-theatre performers are appearing in these holiday classics!

Let's all take a moment to breathe and LAUGH...oh, you might want to use headphones to listen....JUST TO BE SAFE! There are few things we can count on in these uncertain times, but this we know to be true: If John Mulaney is hosting Saturday Night Live, there will be showtunes. The comedian and Oh, Hello star/co-creator did not disappoint Broadway enthusiasts as emcee of the Halloween episode, bringing musicals back to life in a Times Square souvenir shop-set sketch. Mulane...y and a host of off-brand Times Square characters treat Pete Davidson and Chris Redd to a song-and-dance about the magic and not-so-magic qualities of the theatre district, set to the tunes of A Chorus Line’s One, Guys and Dolls’ Luck Be a Lady Tonight, and a double dose of Sondheim melodies, with Kate McKinnon as a wistful Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. mascot singing a rendition of Send in the Clowns and Maya Rudolph as Lady Liberty herself assuring New Yorkers, I’m Still Here.

Thank you to everyone who voted for KCRep! We look forward to the many safe and enriching events we are working on to help uplift and connect our beloved community during these unique times.

It's a Blue Moon on All Hallow's Eve, so watch out... "The foulest stench is in the air The funk of forty thousand years And grizzly ghouls from every tomb... Are closing in to seal your doom And though you fight to stay alive Your body starts to shiver For no mere mortal can resist The evil of the thriller..." Enjoy this special Ghost Light story HAPPY HALLOWEEN from KCREP!
