We're writing a Christmas musical. It's called 'Don't Close Your Eyes' and will be a short (20-30 minute), narrated production. We want have it ready for Christmas performances. It's May now and we've got 4/5 songs written. I've just got to do the narration (just!) and fix up the last song.
It's very exciting hearing the tunes as they are written. Philip is a master at this kind of stuff. All those years watching Disney musicals has paid off.
I'm trying to negotiate a way for the kids' school to do the musical with our church. I'm thinking that the main parts (narrator, Mary, Angel, Shepherds) will be taken by church adults with a school choir behind them. We could perform it at the end of year RE assembly and then they could all come to church (!) for a performance at our carols service. Anyone tried anything like this before?
I had a go at getting our school choir to carols, and found it was tough getting another event on the school calendar in late December...so I'd start early on finding a date that will be acceptable...
