‘Census Sums had a lovely, simple plot that didn't mess about too much with the traditional nativity story (but just enough for added fun) and great songs with bouncy choruses that made you want to join in ... It's hard to try and pick a best bit, although the opening song, "Come Follow The Star", was incredibly sweet, and "Stand Still Granny" was a witty work of art. Best of all perhaps was "Mix It" where the children skilfully sang and danced their way through the creation of a Figgy Cake!’

Product Description
One special Baby Boy, Two Parents, Three Kings, Four Shepherds, enough Cooks to spoil the broth (figgy cake, actually) and a host of Angels; it all adds up to the very first Christmas. But what about the Census Takers ... do they count?
Census Sums is a humorous take on the Christmas nativity. With a straightforward plot, simple staging and easy to teach songs, this nativity musical play is perfect for the NQT.
Very easy to stage and teach with 33 speaking roles and any number of chorus parts (ideal cast size 54, minimum possible cast size 36). The songs are suitable for solos and small groups, with moderate repetition for ease of learning.
