4.0 out of 5 stars Holiday Music with a Purpose, December 7, 2003

Song list:
DISC ONE --
The Holiday Hop (cast of 42nd Street);
O Holy Night (Rent);
Los Peces en El Rio (Nine featuring Antonio Banderas);
Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel (Hairspray);
This Christmas Day (Beauty & the Beast);
A Christmas Lullaby (Mamma Mia!);
The Coming of Christmas (Thoroughly Modern Millie);
Rod's Christmas (Avenue Q featuring Rod);
Silent Night (Big River);
Wrapped Up Nice (Boy From Oz featuring Hugh Jackman);
DISC TWO --
I Saw Three Ships (Wicked);
Sing Out (Gypsy);
Too Fat To Fit (The Producers);
I'll Stay Strong (Aida);
Ave Maria (Taboo);
Chicago Style Jingle Bells (Chicago);
Angelo Rosenbaum (The Lion King);
How Great Our Joy / Joy to the World (Phantom);
Christmastime on Highway 13 (Urinetown);
O Tannenbaum (Cabaret featuring Raul Esparza).

It's all good, or at least interesting, and it's for a good cause.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Refreshing, March 5, 2006
I purchased this CD on a whim, and I was absolutely shocked when I got to track #4- "Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel," by the cast of "Hairspray." I loved the upbeat humor, and as the song progressed, I realized I'd heard this version before- it was on South Park! I could not BELIEVE what I was hearing, but I completely adored it. As I listened through the rest of the 2-CD set, I concluded it would undoubtedly be one of my favorite holiday albums. It was a wonderful combination of traditional renditions, such as a beautiful "O Holy Night" performed by the cast of "Rent" and new, humorous songs, including "Too Fat to Fit" by the cast of "The Producers" which was had a personality reminiscent of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," "Angelo Rosenbaum," sung by Thom Christopher Warren of "Lion King," and "Sing Out" by the cast of "Gypsy."

Overall, the CD set was a wonderful surprise; I had expected a 2 CD set filled with well-sung music, but I was rewarded with a compilation as diverse as peoples' view of the holidays, ranging from the somber expression of religious value to the whimsical, with a jab at the commercial attitude in the middle!
