The Christmas Star competition is the highlight of every Christmas season at Douglas Fir Middle School, and this year is no exception. Miss LaToe is determined to have everyone ready for the big event scheduled for the following night, and the students and judges are filled with excitement. When bitter Coach Chris Masader tries to ruin their important rehearsal by taking over the auditorium, an amazing thing happens with a little intervention: He begins to see that Christmas is more than just hustle and bustle and that God has set a plan in motion to remind him of who he is and what he was made for.

Your kids will love rehearsing these fabulous songs, especially the high-energy “I Got Bit by the Bah Hum Bug” and “The Hustle Bustle.” They will also learn through this entertaining script how the biblical story of the wise men searching for their Christmas star applies to their young lives. The Dovetailor (PROD# 005077057) includes activities, spiritual lessons, kick-off party ideas, rehearsal plans, and more to help you make this children’s musical the highlight of your Christmas season.

This musical was a huge hit at our church. It has a lot of comedy and kept the audience laughing. We loved Tan, Dan, and Nan. We actually turned it into 3 girls parts since our choir is so heavily weighted with girls. Even with the comedy and great songs, the message still comes out loud and clear - that Jesus is the true Star of Christmas.

Dalhart Christian Academy performed this for their annual Christmas production. Using children from 3 yr olds to 6th grade, it was a wonderful evening. The songs were incredible and motions so fun. We incorporated your idea of using our little ones as "twinkling stars" and used the lyrics to "Twinkle Twinkle Christmas Star". They were so precious. They even "saw" their own "twinkling star" on the ceiling and started whispering and pointing to it as the music faded. (It was just the lights reflecting but they didn''t know that) We couldn''t have scripted that moment in if we wanted to. It was a wonderful evening for a crowd of about 300 people. Thank you. This musical is ageless. As one parent said, "the message was so clear, and not so typical of Christmas plays."

I organized this with many kids last Christmas. I had a very great experience with this choral. The added sign language was a wonderful surprise to everyone. The children had much fun with the songs learned them very quickly.

The script was fun and lively and the songs covered every genre of music. The children never tired of working on the production. The audience was enraptured in from beginning to end. What a wonderful piece! The children loved it so much they want to perform this one again this year!
