Set half in heaven and half on earth, this brand-new nativity captures all the beauty and wonder of the true Christmas story, with just the right amount of humour. The story begins when we meet the ‘Holy-Gram’ machine, a new and divine way for God to communicate. When the Holy-gram sends a very important message to the angels, they fly into a panic. How busy they will all be - there's just so much to do! Available with Words on Screen™.

An Annual Performance Licence is required to perform this title. For more information, please click here.

About It's A Miracle!

  • Written by best-selling songwriters Mark, Helen and Naomi Johnson and script by Sue Langwade
  • Ideally suited for 5-9 year olds but would also be enjoyed by older children
  • Editable script included when you buy a Premium pack
This brand-new nativity delves a little deeper into the true meaning of Christmas and highlights that the arrival of one special baby was actually the start of the greatest story on earth. With the songwriting we’ve come to expect from Mark, Helen and Naomi Johnson, and the wonderful scriptwriting from Sue Langwade, It's A Miracle! deals with the nativity story in a child-friendly way. This faithful re-telling of the nativity has just the right amount of humour and captures all the beauty and wonder of the Christmas story.

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!

Amazing Production!

By Happy Customer

I have been using "Out of the Ark" nativity productions for many years and have never taken the time to write a review....until now! I have to say that "It's a Miracle" has outshone all the previous ones! It oozes humour and catchy songs yet still manages to reverently capture the real meaning of Christmas, which is exactly what I hoped for. This was praised by all staff and parents, and the children absolutely loved performing it!
