About The Angel Who Nearly Missed It All
- Exceptional songs by well-known songwriter Lin Marsh
- Fantastic script and high-energy songs that are ideal for 4-9 year olds
- An editable script is included with any purchase of a Premium pack
Despite her best efforts, one hapless angel is always late! She oversleeps, her maps blows away, she goes to the wrong hillside, she gets cramp in her wings, then she terrifies the donkeys when they thought she said leopards instead of shepherds! Will this Late Angel eventually make it to meet Mary and Joseph, and help the rest of the Angel Chorus celebrate the most important event of all?
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!

There are speaking parts for 36 with the opportunity to increase these to 48 by having ten angels rather than five, eight travellers rather than four, and six shepherds rather than three – allocating the lines accordingly. To decrease the number of speaking parts, you can have fewer than four narrators and just two travellers. There can be just one donkey (taking both donkey 1 and 2’s lines) and sheep 4’s lines can be covered by sheep 1, 2 or 3. Three children can double up as the camels and the sheep. There is opportunity for many others to be (non-speaking) additional angels, shepherds, sheep, stable animals, travellers, innkeepers and townspeople.
(Total length of music: 12 minutes approx)
