It's not officially Christmas until you listened to a bunch of hookers with big hair sing "Hard Candy Christmas", the twisted holiday track from the Tony-nominated musical Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and no one does it like Dolly and the girls from the 1982 film.
And since it's a a weird mix of showtune and Christmas song, here are half a dozen (or so) covers to get you into the holiday spirit.
Kate Baldwin (Hello, Dolly!)
Reba McEntire (Annie Get Your Gun)
B.D. Wong (M. Butterfly,Pacific Overtures)
Andy Mientus (Spring Awakening)
Keala Settle (Waitress), Adrienne Warren (Shuffle Along), & Jenn Colella (Come From Away)
Jessica Vosk (Fiddler, Wicked)
Levi Kreis
Rachel Lee at The Joe Iconis Christmas Spectacular
Cyndi Lauper (Kinky Boots)
Kelly Clarkson (No Broadway connection but she’s coming eventually)
