Act 1

Heaven Everywhere

Arr. Andy Beck

Directed by Erika McCauley

Alessa Binetti, Samantha Steen

I hear the bells, they’re ringing loud and clear
You can’t help but love this time of year
It’s Christmastime, there’s something in the air
There’s a little bit of Heaven everywhere

Somehow there’s a little more of love
Maybe there’s a little less of us
Or maybe we’re just slightly more aware
There’s a little bit of Heaven everywhere

It’s the smile on a man who has finally found hope
It’s the tears of a mother whose child has come home
It’s the joy that we feel and the love that we share
There’s a little bit of Heaven everywhere
There’s a little bit of Heaven everywhere

It’s funny how it takes a holiday
To show us how the world could truly change
If we all took the time to really care
There’d be a little more of Heaven everywhere

It’s the grace that we show to a world that needs hope
It’s giving our lives knowing they’re not our own
It’s the joy that we feel and the love that we share
There’s a little bit of Heaven everywhere
There’s a little bit of Heaven everywhere

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah (ooh)

It’s the joy that we feel and the love that we share
There’s a little bit of Heaven everywhere
There’s a little bit of Heaven everywhere
There’s a little bit of Heaven everywhere

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains

Kid on Christmas

APB Pentatonix and Meghan Trainor; Arr. Mark Brymer

Directed by Cara Stewart

Performed by Rhapsody

Featuring Brynn Belnap, Isabelle Jimenez, Maggie Musser, Oaklie Ogle, Aleya Rourke, Dutchlin Stull, Ellie Watson

May your holidays be jolly
Your hallways filled with holly
Your fireside stays burning brighter than it did before
May your string lights keep their twinkle
May your silver bells all jingle
And carolers sing carols at your door

And may you heart be evergreen every December
And a part of you believe and always remember
That sugarplums dance and reindeer fly (reindeer fly)
Santa always reads your letters (oh)
And may you stay a kid on Christmas forever

May your turning eighty-seven
Be going on eleven
You never grow too old to stockings full of candy canes
May you stay up late and listen to hear, “Comet, Cupid”
“Donner and Blitzen”
Prancing on the rooftop (Santa’s down the chimney)
Oh, dropping off your presents (for some milk and cookies)

May you heart be evergreen every December
And a part of you believe and always remember, oh
That sugarplums dance and reindeer fly (reindeer fly)
Santa always reads your letters (oh)
And may you stay a kid on Christmas forever

You know I hope you wake up eyes wide open (to find)
A little love and joy in every moment
Hope you never lose your wonder (whoa)
And every year you’re growing younger (oh)
And when the snowflakes fall
Deck the halls
And still feel the magic of it all (oh, oh, oh)

May you heart be evergreen every December
And a part of you believe and always remember
That sugarplums dance and reindeer fly (and reindeer fly)
Santa always reads your letters (oh)
May you stay a kid on Christmas
Oh, may you stay a kid on Christmas
May you stay a kid on Christmas forever

Welcome

Shine Like Stars

PinkZebra

Directed by Cara Stewart

Performed by Rhapsody

Featuring Devery Gerrish, Jaycee Snelson, Zackery Hebdon

I′m dreaming wide awake
This is the life I make
Don’t need a holiday
To make me feel this way

Listen up
Take a chance
You can sing
You can dance
You can live like there′s no tomorrow
Give it time
And you’ll find
There’s a rule
There′s a rhyme
Move along and the rest will follow
I want you to know

Oh yeah, we shine like stars
Oh yeah, we shine like stars
Like stars
Like stars

What are we waiting for?
It seems we still want more
No one can take away
The dreams we have today

You can go
With the flow
Don′t you see?
Don’t you know?
There′s a light
Let it burn inside you
You can shout
Let it out
Not a care
Not a doubt
This is it
Let the moment guide you
I want you to know

Oh yeah, we shine like stars
Oh yeah, we shine like stars
Like stars
Like stars
We shine
We shine like stars

Oh yeah, we shine like stars
Oh yeah, we shine like stars
Like stars
Like stars
Like stars

It’s Almost Christmas

APB Ingrid Michaelson and A Great Big World, Arr. Keith McCauley

Directed by Keith McCauley

Luke Butikofer, Audrey Warnick

All the days are growing cold
The nights are long
It’s almost Christmas
I hear voices young and old
They sing a song
It’s almost Christmas

I open up my arms and it surrounds me
I open up my heart and I can see
That there is magic in the air
I know it’s there
I still can feel it
See all the wonder everywhere
I know it’s there
I still believe it
It’s almost Christmas

Hold the ones you love so close
And let them know
How much you love them
Cause it’s that special time of year
When we all gather near
Oh I promise to remember

To open up my arms and let it surround me
To open up my heart so I can see
That there is magic in the air
I know it’s there
I still can feel it
See all the wonder everywhere
I know it’s there
I still believe it
It’s almost Christmas
It’s almost Christmas
It’s almost Christmas

There is magic in the air
I know it’s there
I still can feel it
See all the wonder everywhere
I know it’s there
I still believe it
Open up your arms let it surround you (open up your arms)
Open up your heart so you can see (oh so you can see)

That there is magic in the air
It’s all right there
Can you believe it
It’s almost Christmas

PJs with fuzzy socks
Ugly sweaters with polkadots
Warm cookies, had my fill
I might have gained a pound or two
To help with the chill
Hot cocoa, piping hot
Snuggled up in our favorite spot
Whisper things we shouldn’t say
And I don’t plan on leaving here til Christmas Day

Windows frosted
Summer’s sleeping
But I don’t really mind

I know that it’s cold outside
The world is bundled up in white
I just need you by my side
‘Cause I’m warmer in the winter with you
‘Cause I’m warmer in the winter with you

Last year I was on my own
Hibernating in my empty home
Santa didn’t even help
I left a plate of cookies
But I ate them myself
This year feels so brand new
Tie a ribbon around me and you
Santa is checking twice
He’s trying to figure out if we’re naughty or nice

Roads are closed
Snow is falling
But I don’t really mind

I know that it’s cold outside
The world is bundled up in white
I just need you by my side
‘Cause I’m warmer in the winter with you

I know that it’s cold outside
The world is bundled up in white
I just need you by my side
‘Cause I’m warmer in the winter with you
The temperature is toasty for two
I’m warmer in the winter with you

That’s Christmas to Me

Arr. Mark Brymer

Directed by Krista Carroll

Performed by Contessa

Featuring Aurora Drees, Katie Green, Britlan Halterman, Chloe Jensen, Annie Johnson, Gracie Richards

The fireplace is burning bright, shining all on me
I see the presents underneath the good old Christmas tree
And I wait all night ’til Santa comes to wake me from my dreams
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me

I see the children play outside, like angels in the snow
While mom and daddy share a kiss under the mistletoe
And we’ll cherish all these simple things wherever we may be
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me

I’ve got this Christmas song in my heart
I’ve got the candles glowing in the dark
I’m hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me

I listen for the thud of reindeer walking on the roof
As I fall asleep to lullabies, the morning’s coming soon
The only gift I’ll ever need is the joy of family
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me

Oh, the joy that fills our hearts and makes us sing
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me

I’ve got this Christmas song in my heart
I’ve got the candles glowing in the dark
And then for years to come we’ll always know one thing
That’s the love that Christmas can bring
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me

Mistletoe

Directed by Erika McCauley

Riggin Merrill, Nathan Mills, Carter Tindall, Garrett Yorgason

It’s the most beautiful time of the year
Lights fill the streets, spreading so much cheer
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I’ma be under the mistletoe
I don’t wanna miss out on the holiday
But I can’t stop staring at your face
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I’ma be under the mistletoe

With you, shawty, with you
With you, shawty, with you
With you, under the mistletoe

Everyone’s gathering around the fire
Chestnuts roasting like a hot July
I should be chilling with my folks, I know
But I’ma be under the mistletoe
Word on the street, Santa’s coming tonight
Reindeer’s flying through the sky so high
I should be making a list, I know
But I’ma be under the mistletoe

With you, shawty, with you
With you, shawty, with you
With you, under the mistletoe
With you, shawty, with you
With you, shawty, with you
With you, under the mistletoe

Ayy love, the wise men followed the star
The way I followed my heart
And it led me to a miracle
Ayy love, don’t you buy me nothing
‘Cause I am feeling one thing, your lips on my lips
That’s a merry, merry Christmas

With you, shawty, with you
With you, shawty, with you
With you, under the mistletoe, yeah
With you, shawty, with you
With you , shawty, with you
With you, under the mistletoe

Kiss me underneath the mistletoe
Show me, baby, that you love me so-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
Kiss me underneath the mistletoe
Show me, baby, that you love me so-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

Brand New

OPB Ben Rector, Arr. Keith McCauley

Directed by Keith McCauley

Performed by Fortis

Featuring Noah Butikofer, Landen Thomas, Zachary Hansen

I feel like new sunglasses, like a brand new pair of jeans
I feel like taking chances, I feel a lot like seventeen

I feel like windows rolled down, new city, streets and cabs
I feel like anything can happen, laughing,
You take me right back, when we were kids
Never thought I’d feel like this

Like when I close my eyes and don’t even care if anyone sees me dancing
Like I can fly, and don’t even think of touching the ground
Like a heartbeat skip, like an open page
Like a one way trip on an aeroplane
It’s the way that I feel when I’m with you, brand new
Brand new

I feel like a young John Cusack, like making big mistakes
I feel like for the first time in a long time I am not afraid
I feel like a kid, never thought it’d feel like this

Time will always try to make us fold
You remind me what I used to know

Brand new, yeah, yeah, yeah
I feel
And I feel
And I feel brand new
I feel brand new
I feel brand new

This holiday
You’ll be far away
And I’ll be all alone
So please remember this December
To fully charge your phone

And text me Merry Christmas
Let me know you care
Just a word or two
Of text from you
Will remind me you’re still there.

You don’t have to add much to it
One smiley face will do.
Baby text me Merry Christmas
Cause I’m missing kissing you.

Text me Merry Christmas
Make my holiday complete
Though you’re far from me
Say you’ll BRB
That’s a text I’ll never delete
Choose just the right emoji
One that makes me LOL
And if you text me something crazy I promise I won’t tell

I don’t care if you spell things right
I just want to hear from you tonight
Stroke those keys with your delicate touch
And type those little words that mean so much!

I need more from @you than just a tweet
A snap on Snapchat doesn’t last
And voicemail? That’s from Christmas past

Text me Merry Christmas
Send a selfie too
If you do, I’ll go
‘Neath the mistletoe
And pretend my screen is you

Show me that you love me
Text XO to kiss and hug me
I’ll be right here waiting
For my pants to start vibrating
Baby text me Merry Christmas
And I will text you too This Christmas
It’s the least that we can do.
Merry Christmas!

Behold Him

OPB Francesca Battistelli, Arr. Keith McCauley

Directed by Brandi Cook

Performed by Bella Visi

Featuring Jillian Andersen, Madelyn Moser, Tawny Olson, Annie Walker

She put up the tree
Stockings, one, two, three
They all know one is missing
It’s been a whole year
Without him right here
Won’t be the same kind of Christmas

Some years, it’s wonder and lights in the sky
Some years, it’s okay to cry

In your silent night
When you’re not alright
Lift your eyes and behold Him
Feel the thrill of hope
You are not alone
In this moment, behold Him

December twenty-third
Four months out of work
And the bills just keep coming
Trying to stay strong
But he wonders how long
He’ll come home empty handed

In еvery prayer that you lift to the sky
In еvery tear that you cry

In your silent night
When you’re not alright
Lift your eyes and behold Him
Feel the thrill of hope
You are not alone
In this moment, behold Him

Born to seek and born to save
Born to take our pain away
God with us, Emmanuel
In His arms, all will be well
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

In your silent night
When you’re not alright
Lift your eyes and behold Him
Feel the thrill of hope
You are not alone
In this moment, behold Him (behold Him)
King forevermore
Come let us adore
Christ our savior, behold Him
Feel the thrill of hope
We are not alone (not alone)
In this moment, behold Him
In each moment, behold Him
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Behold Him

Hallelujah

Olivia Champlin, Liv Nielsen, Kinsley Wardle

Ooh, in the winter’s chill
Let the candles light the night up from the windowsills
Ooh, as I draw you near
And we whisper all the sweet sounds only we can hear

On the coldest evening in this December
I hold you in the heat of the glowing embers

Let the world stand still, the church bells ring
Silent night as the angels sing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Let the magic warm the moonlit air
Hear the choirs join in singing everywherе
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Ooh, let thеre be peace on earth
Let the lonely join together, let them know their worth
Ooh, let the children know
There’s a brighter day ahead (let’s hold on to hope)

And on the coldest evening in this December
Let us pray the spirit of love will linger

Oh, let the world stand still, the church bells ring
Silent night as the angels sing
Hallelujah (Hallelujah), Hallelujah
Let the magic warm the moonlit air
Hear the choirs join in singing everywhere
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Glory, glory, glory I’m so glad to have you here
And may this Christmas moment last for years

Let the world stand still, the church bells ring
Silent night as the angels sing
Hallelujah (Hallelujah), Hallelujah
Let the magic warm the moonlit air
Hear the choirs join in singing everywhere
Hallelujah …

Mary, Did You Know?

Arr. Paul Langford

Directed by Keith McCauley and Annie Roberts

Performed by VoiceOver

Featuring Kael Peterson, Luke Butikofer, Sophie De Herdt, Olivia Champlin, Noah Coates, Liv Nielsen; Spencer Perry, vocal percussion

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you’ve delivered
Will soon deliver you

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby
You’ve kissed the face of God

Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you’re holding
Is the Great I Am

Mary, did you know?

Up on the house top, reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones, Christmas joys

Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn’t go?
Who wouldn’t go?
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn’t go?
Who wouldn’t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with the good St. Nick

First comes the stocking of little Nell
Oh dear Santa fill it well
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that can open and shut its eyes

Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn’t go?
Who wouldn’t go?
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn’t go?
Who wouldn’t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with the good St. Nick

Look in the stocking of little Bill
Oh, just see what a glorious fill
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks
A whistle and a ball and a whip that cracks
