Directed by Hailey Budd, the musical tells the story of the children and staff of St Bernadette’s School as they attempt to stage their own musical version of the nativity.

However, their teacher, Mr Maddens, has promised that a Hollywood producer is coming to watch the show and turn it into a film. 

Audiences will join Mr Maddens, his over-enthusiastic teaching assistant Mr Poppy, the children and Cracker the dog as they try to make everyone’s Christmas wish of performing in their school’s nativity a reality.

Director Hailey Budd said: “It is an absolute pleasure to direct Nativity! The Musical. The script is genuinely very funny, and the songs are great.

"However,  working with 30 plus children, a full cast of adults and a dog definitely comes with its challenges!

"We hope you love it as much as we do.”
 
With a large cast of talented children and adults, this heart-warming musical is perfect for the whole family and will put you in the Christmas spirit this November.
