Increasing the cast size
There are 20 speaking parts in this nativity musical, but these can easily be increased by:
- splitting the three hosts’ lines between lots of children
- splitting the four shepherds’ lines between eight children
- splitting the three stars’ lines between eight children
There are 16 essential non-speaking parts (one floor manager, four Roman soldiers, four Nazareth neighbours, two sheep, the Angel Gabriel, two Heavenly Host angels and a minimum of two camels). To increase the number of non-speaking parts, have as many Roman soldiers, Nazareth neighbours, sheep, angels and camels as you like and a few more floor managers.
Decreasing the cast size
The minimum number of children that you could perform this nativity musical with is 22, but that would require:
- having just two hosts
- having just one floor manager who would also take on the voiceover role
- having just two Roman soldiers, two angels for the Heavenly Host, two shepherds, two sheep and two camels (with the Roman soldiers doubling up as the two shepherds)
- having just four Nazareth neighbours who would double up as Balthasar, Caspar, Melchior and the Star Of Bethlehem
- having just one star friend for the Star Of Bethlehem (Star 1 would take all of Star 1, 2 and 3’s lines)
Total length of music: 12 minutes approx.

Great nativity!
I watched my daughter perform this play for her Christmas service. It was an amazing nativity for her and her class to perform. I haven't seen many plays with a twist but this one was by far the best play I've seen! My daughter says thank you to whoever made this play as it is now her favourite!
Excited for my class to perform this!
The head teacher at the school I work at just bought this for me. I've wanted it for my year 6 class who will perform with year 5. I'm really excited to show the children! The songs look great and I know the characters will be to. I've watched my daughter perform Lights ,Camel ,Action at her school so I hope lights ,camel,action 2 will be just as good! Thank you out of the ark for yet another great production!
teachwire.net: Review Autumn 2019
It’s a good job Christmas is just once a year because I don’t think many teachers would be able to cope with the hysteria, especially when it’s your turn to do the Christmas production. Out of the Ark Music comes to the rescue with two new musical productions tailor-made for festive fun and frivolities. For ages 5-11 is Lights, Camel, Action 2! The Sequin, a flashy and ritzy nativity with a heavy dose of ‘Strictly’. The show is played out much like it does on TV, with contestants dancing to a box full of styles, from gospel to conga, and judges giving their witty and caustic feedback and scores. With 20 speaking parts, 16 essential non-speaking parts and a running time of around 40 minutes, this is a nativity with passion, attitude and sacks of fun. With more razzle dazzle than you can shake a stick of Blackpool rock at, this pure song and dance nativity is high-energy and fab-u-lous. This nativity also comes with a short compilation video of the dance moves. For ages 5-9 you could opt for I’m Gonna Shine! and take a trip to heaven to meet top star Gloria before heading down to Earth to the Oasis Retail Park where you can buy state-of-the-art camels with turbo spit and spare humps. This nativity celebrates the VIP-est of all VIPs in a production packed with comedy, taking in King Herod’s Palace, a trip to Bethlehem and a tumbledown stable. I’m Gonna Shine! reimagines the Christmas story and expands the characters but retains the core narrative, turning it into a fresh and modernised nativity performance. It is 50 minutes of pure joy and with 59 speaking parts, there’s plenty for everyone to be a star. Both resources come with a quality Teacher’s Book with staging directions, suggestions for staging and props, cross-curricular ideas, costume ideas, percussion suggestions, music score and song lyrics. Also included in the £55.85 price is an Audio CD containing high-quality backing and vocal tracks, Words on Screen v2 CD ROM and annual performance licence. These new nativities are life-savers and will ensure you are not tying yourself up in knots about performing the same old worn out production that folks have seen for the last decade. They are what Christmas is all about and the icing on top of the Christmas cake. The whole school community will love them.
