Exclusive Photos: FUNNY GIRL Adds a Hanukkah Song to Carols For A Cure
The cast recorded a new Hanukkah song titled "Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah".
The holiday season is not complete without the perfect music to accompany it. After a two year Pandemic Pause "Broadway's Carols for a Cure 2022" is back with the 22nd recording that embodies the spirit of the season like nothing else can. A project born completely out of love, "Broadway's Carols for a Cure" pairs the casts from famous Broadway musicals with songs that are both classic and new. The result is pure gold that will make you reach for the "repeat" button over and over again.
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is "Broadway's incredible, dedicated nonprofit organization that helps individual people with serious illnesses such as AIDS and women's health issues receive the health care and support they need. In addition, they provide financial support in the form of grants to AIDS and family service organizations throughout the country," according to "Broadway's Carols for a Cure" producer Lynn Pinto.
With a jaw-dropping list of all the most popular musicals, each Production Company is allowed the creative freedom to choose their contribution. Instead of the typical live singing the artists are used to, they're provided with intimate studios that allow for vocal and instrumental isolations. This makes the album unique from the majority of cast albums on the market, and showcases some of the best voices and instrumentalists in the world.
BroadwayWorld was in the recording studio with Cast Members of Funny Girl as they laid down their vocal track. This is a new Hanukkah song titled "Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah" with lyrics by Leslie Blake Walker and arranged by Leslie Blake Walker and Ephie Aardema with Julie Benko on Clarinet, Ephie Aardema on Guitar and Margery Cohen on Slide Whistle.
