Gilded Age Cast Sings Christmas Classics

HBO's "The Gilded Age" is set to release a festive holiday album, "Voices of the Gilded Age: The Christmas Album," on November 6. This collection will showcase the vocal talents of its Broadway-seasoned cast, featuring both original holiday songs and well-loved Christmas standards. The album promises a star-studded lineup, including Tony winner Brian Stokes Mitchell performing "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" and a special rendition of Stephen Sondheim's "I Remember" by Audra McDonald, Kelli O'Hara, and Donna Murphy.

Further highlights include performances by the show's cast members in various duets and solos. Ben Ahlers, who portrays Jack Trotter, has released the album's first single, the original song "The World Needs Some Christmas." For those who enjoy spoken-word holiday traditions, actors Carrie Coon and Morgan Spector, who play the show's "Train Mommy and Daddy," will lend their voices to read "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" across multiple parts of the album, adding a unique charm to the release.
