This versatile
children's musical presents a colourful tapestry of events and
emotions, moving naturally between lively humour and poignant drama.
A travelling band of Showmen use their 'audience',
including questioning streetwise children, to narrate, act and sing
their way through the major elements of the life of Jesus. The original
show was set in the American ‘Wild West’ but it can be placed equally well
in any contemporary setting.
Nick Perrin has written a crucifixion scene that manages to be not
only powerful and dramatic, but also appropriate for
primary age children to perform. The
uplifting gospel-style song, Roll Back The Stone, provides a tremendous
and joyful climax to the show.
The show is ideal for full musical production, or shorter extracts
can be used for assemblies, choirs etc. Although
this is an ideal show for Easter time, it can be performed at any time of
year. It offers a unique, creative and
unforgettable way in which to bring the Gospel story to life for modern
day children.
