The Nativity – The Musical at the Birmingham Rep #Review

on Leave a Comment on The Nativity – The Musical at the Birmingham Rep #Review

 

Every child in every school has one Christmas wish, to star in the Christmas Nativity, and at St Bernadette’s School they’re attempting to mount a spectacular musical version! The only trouble is, their teacher Mr Maddens has promised them all that a Hollywood producer is coming to see their show to turn it into a film. Join him, his hilarious teaching assistant, Mr Poppy, their children and a whole lot of sparkle and shine as they struggle to make everyone’s Christmas wish come true. The Nativity – The Musical is a pure Christmas delight that everyone needs to go see this Christmas. I took my family along to see it last night and we all had the most wonderful evening. There was smiles and laughter galore. 
 
Based on the film Nativity!, written and directed by Debbie Isitt and produced by Nick Jones. You’ll be treated to all of your favourite sing along hits from the movies, including Sparkle and Shine, Nazareth, One Night, One Moment, She’s the Brightest Star, and a whole host of new songs. I’m still singing Sparkle and Shine in my head right now; it’s just so catchy.
  

This show is spectacular; it’s full of magic, glitter, music, and laughter. It’s the perfect show to get you in the Christmas spirit. The stage was filled with bright and beautiful characters. See how this Christmas love story unfolds and fall in love with them all, just like I did. The children were amazing up on that stage last night; they filled my heart with pride for every one of them. Their high energy, glowing smiles, and wonderful costumes were all delightful. Their parents must be so proud of them, and I sure was.
 
The Nativity – The Musical is a real treat, and I’d highly recommend you go see it if you can. 
 
Ticket prices start from just £19.50 and are still available on the website. The show’s running times are 2 hours and 25 minutes, including the interval. This show will keep you entertained from the very first moment, right up until the big show stopping finale.
