"Follow the Star" is a fantastic show that retells the story of Mary & Joseph. The rather small Gabby (the Angel Gabriel) is desperate for a job so that he can grow (angels only get taller is they do good work). Olly, who is in charge of all the angels, gives Gabby the task of finding Mary and telling her of her forthcoming baby. Having found Mary the over excited Gabby show himself to Joseph, something Olly had strictly forbidden. However Gabby is given one more chance and told to be the star that the Three Wise Men will follow. The other angels Lofty, Jelly and Angy, have to make the Wise Men decide to follow the star. During their journey the Wise Men meet the evil Herod and inform him of their trip. On hearing this Herod decides that this new baby who is to be king must die. Meanwhile Mary and Joseph have reached Bethlehem, but due to an overcrowding problem, the only place they can stay is in the stable (you knew that bit was coming didn't you!!). Herod searches the town while the crib is hidden from view by Oxy and Assy. A considerably taller Gabby brings the Three Wise Men to the baby. Just then Herod returns and a big battle ensues. The good guys are victorious and Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus are sent on their way with a happy song.
