Williboy | Minneapolis, MN USA | 11/27/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have over a hundred Christmas CDs and I look forward every year to listening to this one.Special recognition for the Liza and Alan Cummings selection and one of the most beautiful White Christmas arrangements I've ever heard by Audra McDonald.It's one full hour of the best voices on (and off) Broadway."
The best holiday cd that i have ever heard

(5 out of 5 stars)

"this cd is unlike any others that i have. it has all of my favorite broadway artists (daphne rubin-vega, patrick wilson, billy porter, lillias white) and so many tony award winning stars as well like liza, alan cumming and gary beach. they are all singing their favorite holiday songs. it was also great to learn that all of the artists donated their time to record this cd as benefits for bc/efa."
Peace on Earth for you and me.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This CD features Broadway stars singing Christmas songs. They all sing great, not surprisingly. Most songs aren't done in a very swinging style, but they are enjoyable in an easy listening kind of way."
