The music is GREAT! The kids arrive at Bethlehem Gulch, out west, for their Christmas party. Miss Diane, the ranch owner, welcomes them and all is well until the kids realize there isn't a horse or any cattle around. They have mistakenly chosen a sheep ranch. This musical has all the flavor of the country, runs 50 minutes and uses eight main characters plus three shepherds and four sheep. Truly the best part is the music which can be done with puppets or choir. It's upbeat cowboy shuffle or country swing. The message of Jesus' birth is clearly presented and one lonely child finds the best Christmas gift ever . . . Jesus. While the songs are new, they incorporate traditional favorites like, "Away in A Manger," "Angels I Have Heard on High," "Go Tell it On the Mountain," and more.
