About The Forgotten Carols
"Miracles really do happen at Christmas" says Uncle John to his nurse, Connie Lou. A statement that fills her soul with the hope of Christmas as she hears the "forgotten" carols from this strange, wonderful man. Michael McLean's beloved international stage phenomenon, The Forgotten Carols, leaps from the stage to the silver screen this Holiday season. Long time fans and first-time audiences alike will laugh, cry and find the true meaning and spirit of Christmas as they experience this never-before-seen edition of McLean's holiday classic. Audiences will be spellbound as Uncle John recounts the story of Christ's birth as told by lesser-known characters from the Nativity through story and song. The Innkeeper, the Shepherd and others help Connie Lou discover what the world has forgotten about Christmas, ultimately opening her heart to the Joy of this special season.
Directed by Christy Summerhays, The Forgotten Carols leans on a strong ensemble — Michael McLean, Adrien Swenson, Gili Getz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 2020.
