O. Henry Christmas,
By Ted Shaffner (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi and The Last Leaf (Audio CD)
This is a remarkable album. The music is profoundly moving and often very humorous as well. I listen to it constantly, and would recommend it very highly. Peter Ekstrom is among our most accomplished composers for the musical theater.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A perfect holiday entertainment,
By
This review is from: O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi and The Last Leaf (Audio CD)
Peter Ekstrom's musical adaptation of O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" has been a traditional holiday treat at the Actor's Theatre of Louisville for 17 years. This CD combines that one-act musical with the slightly darker but touching O. Henry story, "A New Leaf". The singing is extraordinary. The orchestrations sparkle. We play "Magi" over and over again and find something new to sing along with every time.Now, if the producers could only find a "name" country and western singer to record the Christmas songs, the album would fly off the shelves.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful Christmas musicals,
This review is from: O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi and The Last Leaf (Audio CD)
Peter Ekstrom's "Gift of the Magi"offers this tender O'Henry story of two young newlyweds down on their luck in a new form that all can enjoy. The wonderfully performed songs are sweet and funny, the story is classic and always timely. "The Last Leaf," from another O'Henry tale, also beautifully rendered, gives a tuneful perspective on the enduring power of hope and friendship, even at the darkest times.
