Telly Leung, who will play his final performance in the title role of Broadway's Aladdin February 17, 2019, releases a digital single of an updated version of the holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You” November 30.
Arranged by Lynn Shankel, the single, on the Yellow Sound label, benefits ASTEP (Artists Striving to End Poverty). The song is available on iTunes and Amazon, as well as all streaming platforms.
“ASTEP connects performing and visual artists with underserved youth,” says Leung, “to awaken their imaginations, foster critical thinking, and help them break the cycle of poverty. We wanted to spread some holiday cheer while raising money and awareness for this fantastic organization.”
