Nativity! The Musical
26 - 30 November 2024
Director: Carly Thompson
Choreographer: Leigh Young
Musical director: Simon Eastwood
The Haymarket, Basingstoke
Evenings: 7.30pm, Saturday matinee: 2.30pm
Based on the hit film, join the pupils and teachers at St. Bernadette’s Primary School as they stage their very own (and first!) musical Nativity. Desperate not to be seen as a failure and in a bid to outdo an old rival from drama school (now also a teacher), Mr. Maddens lies that he has secured a Hollywood producer to come and see the show and turn it into a film.
Join Maddens, his teaching assistant the loveable Mr. Poppy, hilarious children and a whole lot of sparkle and shine as they struggle to make everyone’s Christmas wish come true. Feel-good, funny and full of yuletide joy the show’s guaranteed to fill you with Christmas spirit!
