Lovers of Broadway talent can do some early Christmas shopping as well as support Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) through the purchase of this 2-disc, annual CD of original and traditional holiday music.
As always, the CDs will be sold during a six-week "Gypsy-of-the-Year" fundraising period, which runs this year from October 22nd through mid-December at participating Broadway and off-Broadway shows in New York. The CDs also will be available at select venues throughout the U.S., including The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC; The LA Phil Store in Disney Hall, and The John W. Engeman Theater in Northport, New York.
Featured voices on the 2010 Broadway's Carols for a Cure include Bernadette Peters and the cast and orchestra from A Little Night Music; Kelsey Grammer, Douglas Hodge, Christine Andreas and the cast of Tony Award winning La Cage aux Folles; Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley, from Next to Normal; plus the casts from Memphis, Wicked, Mamma Mia, Elf, In the Heights, Promises, Promises, and more. Jackie Hoffman and the cast of The Addams Family sing "It's Chanukah," a Jackie Hoffman/Lon Hoyt original song written during their time together at Hairspray.
Broadway's Carols for a Cure is produced by Lynn Pinto for Rock-It Science Records and engineered by Andros Rodriguez. The series has raised over $3 million dollars for BC/EFA since its inception in 1999, providing support and care for those suffering with AIDS, as well as lending support to women's health issues. Pinto, a classically trained singer who made her Broadway debut in the 1998 revival of The Sound of Music, has been producing recordings for BC/EFA and many other artists ever since. Over the years, Broadway's Carols for a Cure CDs have featured special performances by stars Bernadette Peters, Nick Jonas, Antonio Banderas, Idina Menzel, Hugh Jackman, Harvey Fierstein, David Hyde Pierce, Raul Esparza, John Tartaglia, Darlene Love, Hugh Panaro, Michael McKean, Annette O'Toole, Andrea McArdle, Donna Lynne Champlin, and Phyllis Newman, among others.
