Music Director Paul Stephan has created the arrangements for these award winning singers that make Sue and Edd's FABULOUS Christmas Show a celebration of the wonderful music of the Christmas and a perfect way to get into the spirit of the season. The show features new takes on such familiar holiday carols as "Susy Snowflake", and new holiday classics such as "My Old Family Quilt".
