David T. Clydesdale and Steve Moore have written a Christmas musical that is certain to tug at your heart. That's the Good News! takes a sentimental, honest look at how Christ can bring hope and peace to a hurting world. That's the Good News! tells the story of Will, a radio news announcer in the small town of Pinckney, Nebraska as he faces his first Christmas without his wife of 40 years. Because of her death, Will looks at the world in a different light, especially the news he reads everyday of murder and theft and struggles with bad things happening to good and innocent people. Through a series of events and interaction with key people in his life, Will finds true peace on earth. This drama can be easily staged and additional biblical characters can enter throughout the production to create a live nativity scene.

Carefully placed staccatos and well-chosen chord inversions illuminate the gospel style of this original anthem of hope. It's a perfect pep talk or pick-me-up theme song for whenever your program needs a lift. A solo voice becomes a duet before all the singers join in and grow with intensity. Several ascending key changes raise spirits, ensuring that the uplifting message resonates. Everything will be alright, everything will be okay, 'cause I can see a new horizon on a brand new day. If you don't perform with the kickin' SoundTrax accompaniment, be sure to add a groovin' drummer and riffing organ of your own. We dare you (and your audience) not to clap along!
