Nativity! The Musical

After an extended run in the West End, Nativity! The Musical is coming to Edinburgh's Festival Theatre.

About Nativity! The Musical

Your favourite festive film is now a major new musical adapted for the stage by Debbie Isitt, the creator of the much-loved films.

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.

Feel –good, funny and full of yuletide joy, Nativity! The Musical features all of the favourite sing-a-long hits from the films including Sparkle and Shine, Nazareth, One Night One Moment, She’s the Brightest Star and a whole host of new songs filled with the spirit of Christmas!

So join us in 2018 for some MAYHEM in Bethlehem!

While we take every opportunity to ensure the details for Nativity! The Musical are accurate, we always advise that you contact the event organiser before setting out for the event to avoid disapointment.
