 'We've done two of your shows before, and didn't think we'd ever better 'The Blue Crystal'. Although we are a church school, initially we felt nervous about tackling The Gospel Show.  However, knowing the way your musicals appeal to children, we decided to give it a go, and we were astonished at the way our pupils took to it - they were queuing up to be involved!  The response from both pupils and parents was absolutely stupendous.  The show brought the house down!  We had some very moving moments.  One pupil said afterwards " I'll never, ever forget this. It's changed my life!" '  Michelle Orson -  Head Teacher, Birmingham.

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.
