This was amazing!

By Sarah

Our ks1 children performed this play and really enjoyed it. I've used this play a Lot over the years and every time I do the children love it and I get positive feed back from the parents. The children still sing the songs long after we've performed it! I definitely recommend this play to any teacher or school.


Really good!

By Jane

I remember when my daughter did this when she was in year 3. I enjoyed every bit of this play and I think it's got to be the best play she's ever done! She still remembers all the lyrics to the songs and tells me she would love to perform this again if she could. Thank you out of the ark for making this wonderful memory happen for me and my daughter


A really lovely Christmas musical for little ones

By great show!

My son is taking part in this at his school. He sings the songs at home almost continually and is really enjoying rehearsing for it at school. I have listened to all the samples and the music is great. If it enthuses children this much then it promises to be a terrific performance!!


excellent

By Emily Wright

Excellent really worth doing it

By J.Credland

At first I thought it would be to beyond the group of children I work with , but no need to worried it was brilliant much to the audience delight and that wonderful look on the childrens faces when then audience appauled and whistled and shouted for more. Keep up the brilliant work Mark and Helen
