The Forgotten Carols

This 2020 taped version of The Forgotten Carols is not good, don't waste your time and money. It is definitely not what has been performed at Cottonwood High school. The dialogue is very contrived, the musical arrangements are not the same, and struggle to convey the same emotions. Connie and the few soloist do a good job, but can't carry the show, especially the way it is currently arranged. Mary Let Me Hold Her Baby is such a beautiful song, but the singer in this version does not do it justice. Michael Maclean put himself into more of the songs, and I didn't think that addd to the production. The old adage of Show me, Don't tell me needed to be practiced in this production as Michael tries to tell you the story premise in an opening dialogue, but that is not at all affective.
