Gloria, the brightest star in all of heaven, takes centre stage on a tricky journey to Bethlehem as she lights the way for the three wise men. As Mary, Joseph and the shepherds also make the long journey, we meet Gabriel, the other angels and an angry King Herod. Will they all be able to reach Bethlehem safely to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus? I’m Gonna Shine! is a dazzling nativity musical for 5-9 year olds following the traditional Christmas story, with an entertaining script and seven contemporary, shiny new songs.

Gloria, the brightest star of them all, has a really important job to do – she needs to shine, shine, shine so that the three wise men follow her all the way to Bethlehem.
Meanwhile, many others are making their separate journeys towards Bethlehem including a tired young couple, Mary and Joseph, and some shepherds whose ‘quiet night out’ is interrupted by the dazzling sights and sounds of a heavenly choir!
As you journey alongside the various travellers making their way to Bethlehem, find yourself drawn into the story of a search for true treasure, which culminates in the gathering at a humble stable where all are welcome to join in the rousing celebrations.

A note on staging
The number of speaking parts is 59. This can easily be reduced to 35 by:- Having just four stars and splitting their lines accordingly.
- Joe, Maudie and the seller doubling up as the shepherds, splitting the six shepherds’ lines between the three of them.
- Having just two customers who would double up as the angels (just two).
- Having just three sheep, splitting the lines accordingly, who would double up as the three camels.
- Having only two guards and two dancers who along with the servant and the jester would double up as the three innkeepers and the three innkeepers’ wives.
- Not having the two ‘children’ characters in the play.
Total performance: 50 minutes approx
Total length of music: 19 minutes approx.
