I bought Dave Corbett's 'Who?' to perform as our Junior Christmas Play. I
chose it because the songs were so varied and the children really enjoyed
learning and singing them, it was easy to choreograph dances because the
songs were so different. Also, there were not too many words for the
children to remember. For the song 'In the town of Bethlehem', two of the
boys volunteered to sing a duet for one part and the parents were in tears.
It is a lovely play with some pantomime and up to date TV themes, but also
with the traditional Christmas theme reminding us of what Christmas is
actually about.
