Imagine the Christmas story being told through a spelling bee. It happens in this 40-minute musical. Contestants (four girls, three boys) are asked to spell names of Jesus such as Lord, Mighty God, Savior, Morning Star and others. Four main characters (three female, one male) are the contest officials. The Spelling Bee and Manger Pageant take place in the Town Hall. The music is upbeat in each of the nine songs and the voices are crisp and easy to understand.
