Remember the 'magic' of a childhood Christmas? How the excitement and anticipation grew as the tree and decorations were put up? How the very sight of tinsel, glittering crepe paper and Christmas crackers was so thrilling?
Valerie Warwick has captured the essence of a happy childhood Christmas in this delightful musical. The parade of Tin Soldiers, the Wood Nymphs ballet, the comical Pixies, the majestic Princess of Wonderland and all her fairies, witches and magical folk from Toyland; all will linger in the memory long after the curtain comes to a close.
The Christmas Eve in the old Nursery CD, provides the full musical score and backing tracks, plus all the ingenious sound effects. The music and recording is the superb work of Gavin Hawley. It is both captivating and absolutely enchanting. The lyrics, by Valerie Warwick and Richard Stevens, are included in the book.
This delightful musical, which runs for approximately an hour and a half with interval, is suitable for children of varying talents and ages, allowing for a cast of 40 - 70 - 100 plus. Christmas Eve in the old Nursery, with its magical music, provides an exciting, humerous, colourful and nostalgic production that will absolutely delight both young and old. Re-live the magic!
