Once On A Housetop

Celebrate the wonder, the joy... and the diversity of the month of December with this imaginative holiday musical for upper elementary and middle school singers. You'll join a group of chimney sweeps as they dance across the rooftops of the city and discover all the different ways that families celebrate the winter holidays. From the candles of Hanukkah to bright pinatas, from a baby born in a stable to the uplifting message of Kwanzaa... and don't forget that big red fella in the chimney! The Teacher's Manual comes complete with the full script, accompanied songs and choreography suggestions while the Singer's Edition includes script, choreography and vocal lines only. And for a truly professional production, the ShowTrax CD features the spectacular orchestration by John Higgins. Share the warmth, the humor, and the joy of all our seasons with your school and community! Available: Teacher's Manual, Singer's Edition Pak (5 books), Preview CD (full performance), Performance/Accompaniment CD. Performance Time: 30 minutes. Grades K-6.
