After nearly three decades of performances every Christmas season, The Forgotten Carols can definitely claim the status of a holiday tradition for families. This year signals one of the largest run of performances in its history—23 performances covering 13 cities in six western states.
As Michael McLean tells it, The Forgotten Carols is a gift he received from Heavenly Father, and like all great blessings, he was directed to share it with others. Now, over a quarter-century later, more than a million people have had the opportunity to personally see The Forgotten Carols performed throughout the world. This year, thousands more people will experience this holiday tradition through one of the largest run of performances in its history—22 performances covering 12 cities in 5 western states.
The Forgotten Carols, a seasonal concert favorite, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Michael McLean, a well-known performer, composer, songwriter, author, and director staged his first one-man concert in 1991 with the hopes of it becoming a tradition families would enjoy. For those first performances, McLean played all the parts to give people a sense of how families could create their own narration at home.
