Reality TV fans will be totally amused and entertained as each of Santa's eight reindeer audition for a panel of important judges including Mrs. Claus, Santa himself, and (special guest at the North Pole) Steven/Susan Cruelle -- played by one of your students, a local celebrity, or a school administrator. Host, Nicky Snowcrest keeps the show rolling along, and the "Star Singers" back up each of the featured performers as they sing and dance their way toward the ultimate title of North Pole Star. For a truly surprise ending, allow your audience to cast votes during the song "We All are Winners Here," or plan and prepare a winner in advance! Either way, it's just so much fun poking fun at a pop culture phenomenon. * Recommended for grades 3 and up. * Performance time: approximately 40 minutes. * Staging Notes included.

Nanny Claus -- the North Pole Nanny

In this classic tale by famous children's writer, Hans Christian Andersen, an emperor's special friendship with a singing nightingale is tested when she flees his beautiful porcelain palace to return to her home in the Chinese forest. Feature your entire chorus as the Citizens of China, your best comedic performers as the royal Courtiers, and a special student as the non-speaking, non-singing Gongkeeper in this 40-minute literature-based musical. The dramatic story is musically and theatrically strong throughout, but especially effective when the Nightingale and the Emperor are reunited at the powerful end. * Recommended for grades 4 and up. * Performance time: approximately 40 minutes. * Staging Notes included.
