"A BRAND NEW STAR" features 8 modern original songs, as listed below. Schools sometimes add their own selection of other traditional carols to produce a longer concert. Otherwise, the production is about 40-50 minutes in length. Last time I staged it in my own school it was performed by 85 children including choir, but it can be performed by a group as small as 15. (Cast List below) The package contains script, songsheets, CD, and basic sheet music. The CD vocal tracks for rehearsing, and "backing tracks" for performance. Therefore no musical ability is needed, but you will need a CD player and microphone for the most effective delivery. (Alternatively, you can use their own pianist or organist etc.) CAST LIST: Mary, Joseph, Messenger, 4 Angels, 4 shepherds, Herod, 3 Wise Men, Children bearing gifts, and choir.
