About Baboushka


Baboushka is too grumpy to believe the Nativity story. Will she miss out on the great event altogether?

Based on the traditional Russian story of Baboushka, this hilarious musical takes a fresh perspective on the Nativity. Its 10 lively songs will be a catch with all age groups, while plenty of varied, fun roles and optional parts make it suitable for either a class or whole-school production.

Baboushka is guaranteed to entertain singers and audiences alike.

Available with Words on Screen™ 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!

An Annual Performance Licence is required to this nativity.

By Chris

Intertwined parts of the Baboushka story with the Nativity story for our church Christmas Pageant. Baboushka proved to be a very popular play for a range of ages. We had a boy play Baboushka and that was a lot of fun. The songs were delightful.
