Synopsis
Twas the Night Before Christmas
Jennifer Kirkeby & Shirley Mier from Clement C. Moore
Published by Dramatic Publishing
Large Mixed Cast
It's four days before Christmas, and the New York Evening Post needs a holiday feature story
President James Monroe is counting on reading it to his family on Christmas Day - but writer Clement Moore has writer's block!
Besides that, he must work at home amongst his five children who are, needless to say, very anxious for St. Nicholas to arrive
As Clement's frustration mounts, the magic begins ...
... the sounds of bells, moving toys and visions of Sugar Plum Fairies all conspire to help Clement, as key events from the classic poem come to life
All interwoven with carol-singers, a song to St. Nicholas, dancing fairies and much more!
Including, of course, a visit from the old elf himself
This delightful musical concludes with the complete original poem set to exquisite music (Scores For Hire)
