This has to be one of the easiest nativity musicals to produce - and one of the most adorable! Even the costuming is easy, as nearly everyone can simply wear their pyjamas!  The perfect answer for those wanting to re-tell the Nativity story in a direct and simple way that even the youngest may understand.

It’s Christmas Eve and none of the children want to go to bed.
‘Can we have a story?’ they ask Mum and Dad (who, if it’s a large cast, have a LOT of children!)
‘Please tell us a story!’ they beg. 

What follows is a simple telling of the Nativity story through songs (which have plenty of actions). The Nativity is acted out during the songs, after each of which the children ask ‘What happened next?’  Mum and Dad take the story forward into the next song, and so it goes on, until it really is time for bed!

"Absolutely brilliant! The children are still singing the songs weeks later as they loved them so much. How has this not been done before? So simple and yet poignant. I highly recommend 'A Little Nativity'."
