The cast this year is tight. They sound fantastic. They are singing as opposed to screeching like in years past. The men harmonizing on We Three Kings was almost haunting. The lead in Because a Child is Born has some great pipes and great projection. This is easily one of the best casts.

Excellent! Last year, the sound quality was struggling when I watched it and I was hesitant to see it this year. Now I can't wait!
 
Do they have a male vocalist or female singing the falsetto part of "Away in the Manger" this year? I really didn't care for how they did it last year. Nothing against the vocalists, I just thought three people singing that song in parts was too choppy. And I really didn't like how all three chimed in with "Gloria" during the song. I thought the 2 vocalist approach with amazing falsetto was much better.
 
That part was done the same way as last year. Somehow, I thought it didn't feel as awkward since the singers did a better job, in my opinion.


Thanks. I was hoping Nick from 2016 would return and do the falsetto part in that song, since he was in "Night Beats" in October. The way he went in and out of falsetto was incredible. No such luck!
 
Some pictures of the show from yesterday. I hadn't seen it in a couple of years so I went this year and it's still as good as ever!

I've had multiple conversations with entertainers and employees, including a few in Entertainment that Gloria will be returning for Christmastown 2023, however they won't have the full orchestra. It will still have the live music, but a much small group of musicians. No details were revealed. Which left me some questions as to the fate of Unto Us, as both shows share the same songs.
 
Probably Unto Us will be eliminated. I liked Onto Us as much as Gloria except the lack of orchestra. I thought the playlist of Onto Us was better as it wasn’t pure religious music.

If Gloria doesn’t have the full orchestra (which isn’t surprising the way SEAS operates), I don’t see where it’s an improvement over Onto Us.
 
Your's was just rumors.

To be fair, you have no idea what the sourcing on @horsesboy's leak was.

Also, if you had said that you had seen contracts confirming Gloria's return, I don't think anyone would have taken any issue at all. Your initial post didn't cite any source or evidence though so it just looked like an unsubstantiated rumor that had already been leaked by others.

No hard feelings, just trying to explain the discrepancy.
 
The difference is that we can confirm it via the contracts we have seen. Your's was just rumors.
I said confirmed because I had sourcing was enough that I was 100% certain of it's return but as a policy I don't publicly share sourcing because employees have been fired for that kinda things in the past. I appreciate both them and the info that I certainly am not going to do anything that might endanger them. I also didn't share till I was told that enough people knew about to make it hard to trace.
 
Members preview Tou don't notice the shrunken orchestra that much
