Andrea Burns. I saw Andrea in The Full Monty, and her comic ability and great voice were as much in evidence there as they are on the Songs for a New World casts recording. She sounds great in everything, but I especially enjoy "I'm Not Afraid of Anything" and "Christmas Lullaby". Find out more at Andrea Burns Online.

Jessica Molaskey. I knew Jessica from Parade, where she gives an absolutely phenomenal as Mrs. Phagan, so to listen to this CD, where she is so hysterical was quite a switch. From her beautiful rendition of "Stars and the Moon" to the very funny "Just One Step" and "Surabaya Santa", she showcases her amazing versatility and talent.

Thom Allison. I've seen Thom in quite a few other things, so it was fantastic to hear him really let loose on some of the songs in the show. He went from clowning around to being earnestly serious in seconds, and his "Steam Train" and "King of the World" were the best parts of the show for me. Visit Thom Allison.com to find out more!
