The Dangerous Christmas of Red Riding Hood

The Dangerous Christmas of Red Riding Hood is the original cast album of the 1965 American Broadcasting Company (ABC) television musical of the same name. Created by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, with a script by Robert Emmett, the special starred Liza Minnelli, Cyril Ritchard, Vic Damone, and The Animals. The album, produced by ABC-Paramount Records, was released shortly before the broadcast and features performances from the TV production, including numbers such as "My Red Riding Hood", "I'm Naive", and "Ding-a-Ling, Ding-a-Ling".

Critical reception praised the performances and the Styne-Merrill score, highlighting Minnelli's charm and the standout songs, though some reviewers noted that the album's slightly slower tempo reduced some of the broadcast's original vitality. While the special did not achieve high ratings at the time, its sophisticated satire and humor have since been appreciated by adult audiences.
