CHRISTMAS MUSICAL NATIVITY

Meet the cast from Bus Stop 23  -             the inspiring musical nativity play

There are ten speaking parts and plenty of singing parts in the host of heavenly angels in this christmas musical nativity.

Mary: Against a backdrop of stars, Mary sings to her newborn baby. She expresses her love for him, and her hopes and fears for the future.

She sings: "As you grow I will love you, always thinking of you. One day I know you must leave, but I won't grieve. For the world needs a saviour, no time off for good behaviour. But until your time I'll stay, right here, by your side."

Joseph, a trainee plumber, waits with Mary in the bus shelter for the arrival of the number 23 bus. As the amazing events of that night unfold, he is a quiet tower of strength.

Sam is an all-night garage mechanic who is convinced that what the angels tell them is true. All he has to do now is convince his pals! He sings his heart out in "Why don't you believe me?!"

Bill and George are Sam's friends in the all-night garage. They are skeptical about the angels' visit. "Maybe it was a bunch of students from the college having a laugh?", says one. Over to Sam to persuade them!

Welshy is the lead angel of the heavenly host, as they spend a busy night shuttling between heaven and earth, spreading the good news of Jesus' birth. She's plucky, and dances with one of the mechanics during one visit in this Christmas musical.

Punky angel is a bit of a rebel, and complains about all the unpaid overtime, spreading the news of the saviour's birth. It takes a host of heavenly angels to persuade her to stay and not defect!

Mr W, head of the council, is visited by the heavenly angels, and only becomes interested when he finds out that Jesus is to be born in his ward. Then, he is on to it like a shot...!

Mrs H is a colleague of Mr W on the town council. She has strong views on the colour of the cups for the council canteen. Then, the angels arrive.

Mr C is a bit of a toady, and latches onto his colleagues' coat tails.

The host of heavenly angels shuttle between heaven and earth, spreading the news of the saviour's birth. They sing, they dance - they dazzle in this Christmas musical.

When the angels appear to the astonished car mechanics and town councillors, they tell them they are real angels, the genuine article, and nothing to do with "Charlie"!

The narrator is a late night traffic warden, who links the scenes as the story unfolds - and heaven and earth hold their breath.
