Debbie Isitt’s 2009 movie, Nativity!, proved so popular that it spawned three further films. It also inspired the Birmingham-born writer & director to create a musical stage adaptation.
For those unfamiliar with the plot, it concerns the children of St Bernadette’s primary school and their ambition to present a musical version of the nativity. An already big challenge for the kids is made all the trickier by false promises, a complicated love interest and a rival school vying with St Bernadette’s for the critics’ award...
Not surprisingly, chaos ensues!
“I always believed that Nativity! would make a fantastic stage musical,” says Debbie. “It’s so full of joy, the children are so sweet and the songs so catchy - it really does lend itself to being the perfect Christmas musical.”
