LSQ-BCD Lights, Camel, Action2! The Sequin – Antony Copus. Book & CD

Also available with Words on Screen (LSQ-BCW)

They’re back! A star-studded line-up of nativity celebrities has gathered in the stable once again to celebrate the amazing events of that first Christmas. With a retelling of the incredible story of Jesus’ birth alongside a fabulous new range of dance styles from gospel to hustle and ceilidh to conga, settle yourselves in for a Christmas celebration full of pizzazz and razzmatazz!

The judges have gathered their scorecards, dancers are waiting in the wings and the audience is assembled for Lights, Camel Action 2! The Sequin – which is still, strictly, the Nativity!

The script is flexible and the size of cast can be increased or decreased easily:

Increasing the cast size:

• There are 20 speaking parts in this nativity musical, but these can easily be increased by:
• splitting the three hosts’ lines between lots of children
• splitting the four shepherds’ lines between eight children
• splitting the three stars’ lines between eight children
• To increase the number of non-speaking parts, have as many Roman soldiers, Nazareth neighbours, sheep, angels and camels as you like and a few more floor managers. (There are 16 essential non-speaking parts: one floor manager, four Roman soldiers, four Nazareth neighbours, two sheep, the Angel Gabriel, two Heavenly Host angels and a minimum of two camels).

Decreasing the cast size

The minimum number of children that you could perform this nativity musical with is 22, but that would require:

• having just two hosts
• having just one floor manager who would also take on the voiceover role
• having just two Roman soldiers, two angels for the Heavenly Host, two shepherds, two sheep and two camels (with the Roman soldiers doubling up as the two shepherds)
• having just four Nazareth neighbours who would double up as Balthasar, Caspar, Melchior and the Star Of Bethlehem
• having just one star friend for the Star Of Bethlehem (Star 1 would take all of Star 1, 2 and 3’s lines)
