Take a “Holiday Road Trip!” Tuesday, October 07, 2014

Are you looking for a new Christmas musical to perform with your students this year? Presenting musicals and programs is a great way to provide performance opportunities for young singers, and to teach valuable performance skills. Try one of these brand publications with your students!

Bring On the Snow! by Andy Beck & Brian Fisher
– Grades 4 and up, 30 minutes
This hilarious variety show is chock-full of one-liners, wintertime puns, and even a few knock-knock jokes! Plenty of parts allow you to show off oodles of young actors, or combine roles for just a select group of comedic kids. Silly skits include a pair of wisecracking reindeer, a snowflake ballet class, “Freeze-Whiz” (everyone’s favorite game show), and a directionally-challenged family of geese. It’s a breeze to put together – just stage the scenes around your regular choral formation. Featuring two-part music, appropriate for grades four and up. 30 minutes of bad jokes and belly laughs!

Holiday Road Trip by John Jacobson & Mac Huff
– Grades 4-8, 40 minutes
Celebrate local holiday traditions from coast-to-coast when “Uncle Nick” takes a busload of eager travelers for the ride of a lifetime! From singing the blues in Louisiana and dancing in the streets of Miami to a Texan line dance, ice skating at Rockefeller Center, a carriage ride in New York’s Central Park, and hitting the beach in Malibu, the fun never stops! Does Santa really show up in a boat pulled by eight alligators in New Orleans? Donner is going to Hollywood, Rudolph is posin’ at Muscle Beach, and Dasher is singing in a beach boy band! Discover that the universal themes of peace, joy and love are everywhere. Designed for performers in upper elementary and middle school, this 40-minute musical features seven original songs with connecting script and over 35 speaking parts. The Teacher Edition is filled with quality performance material including piano/vocal song arrangements and choreography, script, and helpful production guide. For added value, the ready-to-use student books include songs and script, and will enhance the musical experience for your young aspiring actors/singers!
