The way the guest artists for this year’s Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert interact with each other, you’d think they had been working together for quite a while, according to entertainment reporter Lottie Johnson. "A little over 12 hours after their first of three Christmas performances in the 21,000-seat Conference Center, Broadway star Ruthie Ann Miles wrapped her arm around actor Dennis Haysbert, whose typically deep and authoritative voice was quivering with emotion as he recounted telling the life story of Dr. Charles Mulli during the concert — a narration he said could easily make him 'blubber through every line.' "And as Miles shared what it meant to have her mom, her musical inspiration, in attendance as she performed Christmas music with a choir she listened to as a child, Haysbert smiled at her and gently patted her arm in support. The two seemed at ease with each other, unafraid to let out their emotions. "It was only just last week that Haysbert was even officially announced as the concert’s narrator. And the two guest artists have only been in Salt Lake City together for a few days leading up to the concerts — in fact, Miles was shocked to learn that the choir and orchestra only practiced together for the first time on Tuesday. "The quick bond everyone has formed, she said, stems in part from the collaborative and warm nature of the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square."
