What On Earth Is Christmas - By Nick Haworth and Andrew Oxspring
Product Description
To those watching us from across the galaxy, we humans must seem a strange species! Some of the things we do are quite extraordinary! Yet at Christmas, with our weird and wonderful festive traditions, we are truly at our best.
Taking a comical yet affectionate look at such traditions, this musical celebrates how we come together at this time of year, in love and friendship, to remind ourselves about what’s really important!
Contains 43 speaking parts with a cast size including non-speaking parts of 60, which can be easily reduced to 21 or easily increased to 80+. Suitable for KS2 (ages 7-11).
The Book and CD Pack includes the full script with detailed stage directions, character information, tips and suggestions for costumes, props and scenery, a CD of all songs (vocal tracks and backing tracks) plus continuity/incidental music and sound effects where required and a piano score with voice line and guitar chords for all the songs.
Also available is a CD-ROM of Digital Backdrops containing eight images in the sequence they are required throughout the script, supplied in both a PowerPoint presentation and as individual hi-resolution JPG files. No more scenery painting! These images may be projected onto a screen or wall at the back of your stage or hand them to a local printer to print onto large boards or sheets in order to create your stage backdrops. They're also useful to print off for cast and stage crew to familiarise themselves with the sets and scene changes.
A free editable copy of the script in Word format is also available upon request when you purchase (and have paid for) this musical from us. Simply e-mail your request, along with your name and address, and we will arrange for a copy of the script to be sent to you by e-mail. This will allow you to edit the script, if required, and to print as many copies of the script as you require.
