period (now through Dec. 5) at participating Broadway and Off-Broadway
shows. The 26-track double CD can also now be purchased by visiting

The recording features new and traditional holiday carols, including
Darlene Love and the cast of
Hairspray's rendition of
"All Alone on Christmas" and
Ann Harada's version of "Go Tell It on
the Mountain."
"Carols" is the latest fund-raising CD produced by Lynn Pinto to
benefit BC/EFA. In a statement Pinto said, "This is the seventh year
of 'Carols for a Cure' and we are so excited about the overwhelming
responses by both the participating casts and the Broadway fans. It's
a win-win situation for everyone. Broadway performers get to
represent their show in fun and creative ways, fans look forward to
hearing what their favorite performers have come up with, and the
money goes to a great cause. To date, 'Carols for a Cure' has raised
nearly two million dollars for BC/EFA."
