High energy gospel Christmas songs by the broadway inspirational voices, a choir of over 50 broadway performers in New York City

notes

Recorded by Michael McElroy's acclaimed 'Broadway Inspirational Voices', which consists of 50 cast members from popular Broadway shows, this uplifting album is an amalgam of traditional Christmas music, modern theatrical arrangements and jubilant vocals. It's the work of an All Star Team: the best of Broadway, energized by the passion of Gospel, sung by the finest collection of contemporary vocalists New York has to offer. That's an idea of what this exuberant, 15-song CD delivers. In many ways, the tracks convey the sensation of being at an actual concert, not the experience of listening to an album recorded in a studio. These songs will jump from your speakers. It's not just Christmas joy being conveyed by these performers...It's Great Joy!
