Feel-good, funny and full of yuletide joy, this cracker of a musical was adapted for the stage by Debbie Isitt, the creator of the much-loved films. Read more …
Every child in every school has one Christmas wish, to star in a Nativity, and at St Bernadette’s School they’re attempting to mount a musical version! Only trouble is teacher Mr Maddens has promised that a Hollywood producer is coming to see the show to turn it into a film. Join him, his teaching assistant the crazy Mr Poppy, hilarious children and a whole lot of sparkle and shine as they struggle to make everyone’s Christmas wish come true.
Beg, borrow or steal to get a ticket, this really is an unmissable show.
A family show that features a little wit, a decent measure of goodwill, and lashings of pure showbiz cheese.
With such a tremendous cast, beautiful staging and infectious music Nativity! The Musical is the epitome of a feel good show and I can't recommend it highly enough!
All in all, this is a feel-good evening for all ages, delivered at a whirlwind pace with slick choreography and sheer delight from all onstage, as well as catchy songs you’re guaranteed to be humming for weeks to come.
It’s funny, touching and infectiously festive.
It doesn’t feel like a cash-in, the effort involved is astounding for what may easily have been a quick festive piece to capitalise on a name. Nativity! the Musical is a production with staying power, perhaps enough to take over its namesake as a Christmas tradition.
A high-octane, utterly feelgood show that features a whole host of future stars.
