Christmas season is fast approaching, and Christine Baranski is having none of it.
The Tony winner and The Good Fight favorite plays Scrooge-esque town owner Regina Fuller in Netflix's movie musicalChristmas on the Square, streaming November 22. The entire town faces eviction as she tries to sell the land to a mall developer, but an angel with a country twang might bring about a change of heart.
Grammy winner Dolly Parton penned 14 original songs for the movie, and fittingly takes on the role of the angel. Tony nominee and Emmy winner Debbie Allen directs and choreographs.
The cast also includes Jenifer Lewis (Black-ish, Hairspray), Treat Williams (Hair), Josh Segarra (On Your Feet!), Jeanine Mason (Roswell, New Mexico), Mary Lane Haskell (Heartstrings), Matthew Johnson (American Idol), and Selah Kimbro Jones (Hidden Figures).
Netflix releases another all-star movie musical in December: its film adaptation of The Prom.
