It's beginning to look a lot like a thousand holiday movies, and we've got one more to add to your Christmas queue!

Joe's Pub has a fun lineup of holiday-inspired acts coming your way this month! See full details below!

Ana Gasteyer ('Saturday Night Live,' 'The Goldbergs,' Netflicks' Wine Country) is sweetening up the holidays with the release of her new holiday album, Sugar & Booze. Brimming with creative arrangements on standards such as 'You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch' and a retro Mambo 'Sleigh Ride,' Gasteyer's soulful, clear vocals breathe a fresh new, and often bemused take on these beloved classics and evokes Holiday nostalgia on its original songs, such as 'Nothing Rhymes with Christmas' and 'Blue Black Friday.'

Everything from Matteo Lane giving us very Mariah Christmas (Dec 17) to Isaac Oliver (writer on GLOW & High Maintenance) as your Valentine (Feb 13) to the debut of a very special project by Gloria Reuben (Mar 31) will hit the stage at Joe's Pub in the coming weeks!

Miranda recently chatted with Page Six about the project. 'I was a kid who wanted to be a filmmaker all my life,' Miranda explained. 'I was the kid who found it easier to have a camcorder on my arm than engage with people my age,' he said. 'So when I watched 'Rent' and there's a character who's always spinning a camera, and at one point, another character goes, 'You just film us because you're scared of connecting' ... I went [gestures to looking uncomfortable], in the last row of Nederlander Theatre was Jonathan Larson attacking me and my adolescence.'

Funny lady Ana Gasteyer ('Saturday Night Live,' 'The Goldbergs,' 'Wine Country') is sweetening up the holidays with the release of her new holiday album, Sugar & Booze. The collection of festive seasonal songs, classic and original, offer a swinging nod to the vintage holidays of yore with a modern touch and plenty of style. Gasteyer brings her Sugar & Booze tour to The Ridgefield Playhouse on Wednesday, December 18 at 8pm with a night of hilarious holiday cabaret that harkens back to the big-band jazz era with a modern and often comedic touch.

Deadline reports that Alexandra Shipp, Vanessa Hudgens, and Robin de Jesus have joined the cast of Lin-Manuel Miranda's upcoming Netflix adaptation of Jonathan Larson's 'tick, tick... BOOM!' Andrew Garfield will star as Jon.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has given the green light to an upcoming sequel to 'The Princess Switch,' starring Vanessa Hudgens.

HBO Max has ordered Grease: Rydell High, a musical series inspired by the 1978 Golden Globe(R) nominated film Grease. A joyous musical series set in and around the world of Rydell High, the show reimagines the global smash hit movie with some characters you already know, and a whole lot more you will soon meet. It's still the 1950s, a world that rocks with big musical numbers from the period combined with new original songs as well. It's the peer pressures of high school, the horrors of puberty, and the rollercoaster of life in middle America with a modern sensibility that will bring it to life for today's musical lovers.
