Hailed as one of the “best Christmas shows this holiday season” by TimeOut New York and starring Broadway's Todd Buonopane (Cinderella) and Joel B. New (Monkey Trouble Unleashed!), this brand new musical podcast production of UNDERTAKING CHRISTMAS will make Broadway and Hallmark movie fans alike feel cozy, nostalgic, and super gay, all at once. UNDERTAKING CHRISTMAS is a loving send-up of the Hallmark Channel Original Holiday Movie genre, except deliberately daffy in its use of tropes and centering around a same-sex love story. The musical’s score includes songs destined to become tomorrow’s holiday hits, like "All I Want For Christmas Is A Boyfriend For My Dad," "Christmas Happens," and "Death and Taxes and Christmas and You."
