Wise Guys

Overview

Of all the elements of the Nativity story, the journey of the Magi is perhaps the most mysterious and intriguing. More commonly referred to as the Three Wise Men (or even the Three Kings), their story is mostly one of guesswork, with the gospels very short on any real detail (including how many Wise Men there actually were). Indeed, their story features only in the Gospel of Matthew, and much of this is devoted to their visit to King Herod.

We don’t really even know where they come from, and we certainly don’t know how they managed to follow a star all the way to Bethlehem. But their value to the story, their demonstration of the importance of Jesus’ birth and their recognition (through their gifts) of the impact His life would have on the world make them truly compelling characters.

Wise Guys is a brand-new Christmas Nativity about the Wise Men that invites us to see the story from their perspective and join them on their journey to visit the Newborn Messiah. Written by our founders, Tom Kirkham and Matthew Crossey, the musical is brimming with Three Wise Men Nativity songs that transport your school straight to the Middle East on that fateful night!

And it’s not just the Wise Men themselves who are excited, but an array of colourful characters including Mary, Joseph, shepherds, angels, attendants and all the animals. With the ensemble too, there’s a part for everyone. If you’re looking for song ideas for a Three Wise Men Christmas Nativity, Wise Guys is the perfect production to get everyone singing and dancing and introduce primary school students to one of the greatest stories ever told.
