The 20th anniversary edition of Carols for a Cure, the annual Broadway holiday album featuring cast members from Broadway, Off-Broadway, and national tours, has just been released.
Among this year’s mix of standards and original songs is a new single from Anastasia star Christy Altomare — "It’s Just Like Christmas."
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS has just released a music video for the romantic holiday single that also features Altomare's Anastasia co-star, Zach Adkins. Altomare also directed and edited the music video.
"It’s Just Like Christmas" has orchestrations by Caleb Hoyer. The video is produced for Carols for a Cure by Lynn Pinto and Andros Rodriguez of Rock-it Science Records.
The album is currently available for $25 at the Broadway Cares Store and at PlaybillStore.com. The album is also available at participating theatres through December 2.
In addition to belting out the soaring Ahrens and Flaherty anthem "Journey to the Past" eight shows a week at the Broadhurst Theatre, the Broadway actor is also a gifted singer-songwriter, having released three albums of original music: Not Over You (2003), Waiting for You (2007), and After You: L.A. Sessions (2009).
