Everyone Loves A Baby! is a delightfully endearing nativity musical for 3-7 year olds with a humorous script and 7 exciting new songs. Available with Words on Screen™.

At a Bethlehem inn, six children live with their parents – a kind innkeeper and his wife, who have just had a new baby. But the children aren’t too keen on the new addition. They’d rather have a dog, a donkey, or even a camel!
In an effort to escape all the baby talk, the children go in search of their friend Bill. On the way they meet Mary, Joseph, three wise men and some shepherds, who are all talking about another baby – baby Jesus. This nativity musical by best-selling songwriters Mark and Helen Johnson contains seven great new songs specially written for 3-7 year olds.
The simple, gently humorous script contains lots of non-speaking parts*. Told from a child’s perspective, Everyone Loves A Baby! is an endearing take on the traditional Christmas story and will delight pupils and parents alike.
*An alternative, extended script suitable for 5-9s is available for free download with purchase.
An Annual Performance Licence is required to perform this nativity.
An editable script is available for this product when you purchase a Premium package that includes an eSongbook.
A note on staging
There are speaking parts for 25, but this can be increased by splitting the narrator’s lines between several children. If you have a small cast, parts marked by * on the character list above can all be played by the same group. If you have a larger cast, capable of delivering more demanding dialogue, you might prefer to use the alternative, extended script available for free after purchase. See page 2 of your book for more details.
Total length of music: 16 minutes approx.
