Nativity Now

A humorous musical loosely based on the story of the birth of Jesus Christ
by Rob Newton & Matt Clements

Nativity Now is the nativity story brought right up to date.
Modern, catchy tunes and everyday language and set in your town centre.
It has been written so that, with the exception of Mary and Joseph, none of the parts are for a specific age or gender.
There are no long, difficult speeches for lead roles to learn and witty ad-libbing should be welcomed.
The music needs a minimum of 'a piano' but will lend itself to whatever size music group is available.
There is room and scope for chorus and dance sequences.

The intention of the work is to portray not just the story of the birth of Christ nearly 2000 years ago, but to show it's relevance today, If the author could be of any assistance don't hesitate to call.
The message is important and, as Christians, we are ready to help you to spread it. Rob Newton.
