A nativity musical by Sheila Wilson

Six fun and thoughtful songs for key stages 1&2. Ideal for schools and churches. CD& Workbook also available.

This original, new Christmas musical from Sheila Wilson takes u right back to Mary's visit from Gabriel, and culminates in a hearth warming stable tableau scene. In this creative account of the Nativity, God is 'auditioning' all the much-loved traditional characters. But there are no losers in this show (except, maybe, Herod!) and a lot of fun is had by all. Herod fancies his chance as King of Kings and isn't at all impressed when the part goes to a baby.

The six new songs are catchy and vary from lullaby to rock, plus in the wordbook there's simple rap for the Wise men. There are optional hand jives and kazoos, and for KS2 there is optional two-part singing. The script can be simplified for KS1.

The CD provides fully orchestrated backing tracks, in addition to demonstrations of the songs.
