Under the direction of BCCM Musical Director Michael Mertz, the group sings “A Winter Wonderland,” “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm,” “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree” and “The Christmas Song.”
“We’re jazzing ’em up a little. Jennifer Gilbert is going to sing “Hard Candy Christmas” from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. We’re keeping it fun.” Fun, Williams is quick to point out, doesn’t mean unsophisticated. Group numbers include “Believe,” “Countdown to Christmas” from the Broadway show A Christmas Story, and “Jing-a-ling-a-ling,” which is an Andrews Sisters song. “Those group numbers can get really complicated. [The singers] have to make it seem so easy, but there’s a lot of difficulty in [the arrangements]. There’s lots going on.”
