"Broadway's Greatest Gifts: Carols for a Cure Volume 7" is currently being sold during the Gypsy of the Year fundraising period (now through Dec. 5) at participating Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. The 26-track double CD can also now be purchased by visiting the Broadway Cares website at www.broadwaycares.org.

The recording features new and traditional holiday carols, including Darlene Love and the cast of Hairspray's rendition of "All Alone on Christmas" and Ann Harada's version of "Go Tell It on the Mountain."

"Carols" is the latest fund-raising CD produced by Lynn Pinto to benefit BC/EFA. In a statement Pinto said, "This is the seventh year of 'Carols for a Cure' and we are so excited about the overwhelming responses by both the participating casts and the Broadway fans. It's a win-win situation for everyone. Broadway performers get to represent their show in fun and creative ways, fans look forward to hearing what their favorite performers have come up with, and the money goes to a great cause. To date, 'Carols for a Cure' has raised nearly two million dollars for BC/EFA."
