Overview

A musicalization of the birth of Christ. The time is now, the action is everywhere. Not unlike Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell, O Happy Day inventively and enthusiastically weaves a charm of unbridled innocence. This catchy musical tells the Christmas story in an excitingly new and young way. They swing into the sort of thing creative actors and directors relish: delightful improvisation-like scenes with actors often switching roles as the story progresses. The musical eventually leads to a rousing climax and becomes a celebration embracing the entire audience.

O Happy Day has been presented throughout the country, including major productions in St. Louis, Utica, NY, and at Lincoln Center.
