The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical
Book and Lyrics by Jahnna Beecham Music and lyrics by Malcolm Hillgartner Based on the play by Barbara Robinson
The Worst Kids. The Best Christmas.
The Herdmans are legendary for all the wrong reasons, so when they burst into Sunday school and demand starring roles in the town’s Christmas pageant, panic spreads fast. These kids don’t know the Christmas story, aren’t interested in tradition, and have absolutely no intention of behaving themselves. As rehearsals spiral into chaos and calls to cancel the pageant grow louder, reluctant director Grace Bradley finds herself trying to keep the production—and the peace—from completely falling apart. With help from her family and the local Reverend, the town slowly discovers that the Herdmans’ wild approach may reveal the Christmas story in an unexpectedly meaningful way no one expected.
Presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals, Broadway Licensing, LLC, serving the Dramatists Play Service Collection.
Rating: G (suitable for all ages) Run time: Approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission
