Item #2044b – Paper copy

Special Delivery is a Christmas music program for preschool through elementary age children.  This musical includes a script with speaking parts and 12 kid-friendly Christmas songs.

 

There’s nothing like a Special Delivery!    Your children are invited to ride along with a delivery person who is making special deliveries to everyone in the Christmas story.
. . . The angels will receive a “Glory to God in the Highest” song they located on the internet.
. . . The wisemen will get their mail-ordered gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh just in time.
. . . After Mary and Joseph and the shepherds all receive their special deliveries, we will greet God’s “special delivery” to the world – the newborn Savior, Jesus.

You have your choice of a full-length 40-minute program or a short 20-minute program – similar script but less music.

Upbeat & Fun

I just want to tell you how much fun it is to prepare my singers for your musicals!  The kids get naturally excited because the music is upbeat and fun.  Another reason I love your musicals is because you incorporate some familiar carols in all of them to involve the congregation.  Thank you for your help, your inspiration and for sharing your talents with us.

Belted them out

The people absolutely loved the songs and how the students “belted them out”!  They caught all the clever lines, laughing throughout the play.  The students related later that the evening was “awesome”.  Thanks for writing a kid-friendly play!

Money well spent

I wanted you to know how much the kids loved the music.  They did a great job!  Many people said it was the best Christmas program they had ever seen.  The catchy songs and biblical themes are very suitable to the needs of our church.  Our money was well spent!

Contemporary script

Special Delivery was very well received thanks to your wonderful music and contemporary script.  It made the practicing and memorizing easy for the children.

Humming the tunes

The children loved your music and learned it quickly!  Parents told story after story of how their children were humming the tunes at home and looking forward to the next Christmas rehearsal.  Thanks!

Clever & Creative

Our little Sunday school did Special Delivery for our program.  It was such a clever drama and creative story.  The songs were great.  Thanks for such a fun musical!

Fun and catchy

I just wanted to let you know how much fun we had with Special Delivery.  The music was fun and catchy, and most importantly, centered in the Gospel. Your work has been a blessing to all of us.
