Very flexible! Perform with any number of children from 1 to 100+. Please be aware that the included script is a ‘Narrators Only’ script, meaning that the entire story is told through narrators with no lines for any actors. However, you can still use actors to dramatize the script, if so desired. The cast list and staging advice (included in your purchase) gives detailed guidance for how this could work. Please see the above sample document for cast list and further information.
If you stick exactly to the script then this musical is roughly 20-30 minutes long. However, this running time can easily be shortened or lengthened by up to 15-20 minutes either way. Suggestions for ways to achieve this are included in the detailed ‘Production Notes’ document which is included in your purchase.
Short on rehearsal time? No problem, we know from experience that it’s possible to rehearse a simple version of this play in a few days. What’s the secret? During the show, read from the script, without anyone having to ‘learn’ any lines, and without any actors. As for the songs, simply divide them up! Don’t get ALL the children to learn ALL the songs, instead share them between children, classes or year groups, so that no one has more than 1 or 2 songs to remember. If you follow this advice carefully then you may even be able to rehearse the whole show in a single day.
THANK YOU LEARN2SOAR!
"The children LOVED the music & although I'd intended to give them the words, they learned them naturally after singing along a few times. The parents commented on how well they sang, and the fact that they jiggled and danced as they performed showed just how much they ENJOYED themselves. THANK YOU LEARN2SOAR! I will certainly look up your other productions for our next concert."

HOOKED FROM THE FIRST SONG
"This had me hooked from the first song. A very well constructed musical performance for children which delivers the Easter Story with charm and compassion."

BEST I'VE USED
"Over the last 25 years I've used around half a dozen different Easter story musicals from a variety of sources, but E-A-S-T-E-R Spells Easter is the best I've used for three reasons. Firstly it deals with the actual crucifixion in a very clever and sensitive way - Even though some of the children who have performed this musical with me were as young as 5, everyone understood and appreciated the part of the script which dealt with Jesus' death and loved singing the 'Trials & Tribulations' song that went with it. It was moving, but not upsetting, and told just enough of the bible story to make sense, without going into any details which could possibly cause upset or offence. Very impressive. Second the whole musical covers everything from Palm Sunday to the Resurrection, but doesn't drag on and on, like some others I've used over the years - 7 easy songs with a very simple script and it's all over within 20-30 minutes. It was perfect for our needs and I'm sure that's the same for most schools who have busy curriculums and schedules. And third, it’s acrostic - So blindingly simple, but again it makes it so much more accessible for the children and the audience. In summary this is a very smartly written, short Easter musical, which genuinely is entirely appropriate for the specified age-range."

FANTASTIC
"Some of our junior children performed 'E-A-S-T-E-R Spells Easter' last year. It was really fantastic! It was straightforward to use, with a delightfully simple script and easy-to-learn songs. The children loved the musical and as a result, they acted and sang brilliantly. The audience was full of praise with some saying it was the best Easter performance they had ever seen. One parent was particularly amazed that we were able to show what is a difficult story in such a "simple, sensitive and meaningful way". Thanks for providing such a great Easter resource."

EXCELLENT
"Dear Learn2soar, I am a teacher and there have been many times when I have bought a musical from you and I must say that you offer excellent packages with high standards of scripts and wonderful songs. The last one I did this year was EASTER Spells Easter for Juniors which again was a great success. Many Thanks."

I'M IN AWE OF THE STANDARD
"I AM TOTALLY IN AWE OF THE STANDARD! I put Easter Spells Easter (for Juniors) on in assembly (for the whole school)... within a short space of time the children were singing along without me having to teach a thing! I played it again at the end of assembly and the children sang along with ease. The reception class were so enthusiastic that they skipped out singing it!!!"
