About The Landlord's Cat

At a certain Bethlehem inn, the landlord's cat is so fed up with the hectic atmosphere and being ignored by his owner, that he is on the verge of leaving town. However, with the arrival of Mary and Joseph in the stable, as well as wise men and shepherds, the cat (being a wily and intuitive creature), senses that something very special is about to happen. Naturally he is determined to find out just what it is...

Now available with a Words on Screen™ eSongbook allowing you to display song lyrics on any whiteboard, computer screen, television or interactive touchscreen. The lyrics synchronize with the music as it plays making them easy to teach and easy to learn!

Super Show!

By LF

We used this with Key Stage 1 last Christmas, and it is easily one of the best shows I have ever been a part of! The children absolutely the songs and everybody who came to watch the production thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn't believe children so young managed to learn so many words and song lyrics. They produced such a slick performance thanks to the great script and lyrics. Highly recommend!


excellent

Fantastic kids Nativity

By LizK88

I have just seen my 4 year old boy perform this at school and we loved it. He is singing the catchy songs all the time!


Fantastic!

By Vicki

We put on the nativity, The Landlord's Cat, last Christmas and we got many, many positive comments about what a wonderful production it was. I really want to repeat it this year, however we're going to have a go at Prickly Hay. I hope that it is just as good.


Brilliant Show!

By Andy Walters

Our school staged The Landlord's Cat this Christmas, and it's the best nativity the school has done by a long shot -- funny and poignant by turns. People were humming the last song as they left the hall. Catchy tunes and lyrics and a lovely script. The kids obviously enjoyed every minute and performed the show with huge enthusiasm. We hadn't realised they were capable of so much! I highly recommend it.


Awesome

By Jane

Our Sunday Club performed this musical at our Christmas Service this morning and it was very well received by all who attended. The songs were catchy and easy to learn and the story line not too complicated. We only had a couple of Sundays to practise the whole performance and they sang with great gusto and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We had a cast of about 30 performers


Absoloutly fantastic!

By libby

I am so enjoying learning this at school!nWe are doing so well to learn it by next week!


Absolutely brilliant.

By SC

I was lucky enough to be able to put on The Landlord's Cat before it was available for sale and I can say it is by far the best nativity I have staged. The children loved the songs, particularly 'A Cat Can Look At A King' and all the parents really enjoyed the show. The script captures the traditional Christmas story and includes some lovely witty moments. You won't be disappointed. This is certainly one I will be using again.
