we're gonna take it this is our big break we may never get a chance again

it's our big break so we're gonna do it right it's our big break the bees are

gonna dance again it's our big break just like opening night so what's in the box ah millward in this

Modern Age it isn't enough just to have a great story anymore no you need to show the audience something they've

never seen before you got a monkey that can yodel no Millwork electric lights

spectacles the name of the game oh cool but doesn't the Royal Theater

across town already have electric lights sure on the building that's easy but

we're gonna give them something that's never been done we're gonna string electric lights on the scenery itself

wow can you do that it's a bit of a fire hazard but when you get your big break

sometimes you've gotta take big chances right Winston that's all right

cause it's our big break so we're gonna take a chance again it's our big break

cause we're running out of time it's our big break yeah they wanna extreme against my friends star big break now go

find that rhyme say Winston any luck with the Crown Prince I'm talking to him right now

Prince you mean these Crown Prince Prince Frederick indeed heir to the

throne and England's number one theater critic a good word from him and the show's sure to succeed so is he coming

uh he will be as soon as he hears what a spectacle it is and that it stars his

favorite actress Miss Effie Pickering huh Effie Pickering is in your musical

well and not yet exactly but she is in his office what

[Music]

uh Miss Pickering is so good of you to come let's cut to the chase miss your

apple tart happy thought we you have two minutes to

convince me I should be in this musical The Princess and the plume

it's the princess and the plumber a plum is a fruit while a plumber is a skilled

laborer who works on um pipes the clock is ticking oh right

well It's a Wonderful story about a sad princess and a kindly plumber and the

power of love you see on the Night Before Christmas the princess's sink backs up and so of course as she calls

the plumber now unbeknownst to the plumber the princess's pipes are magic

pipes so uh as he's working on them on Christmas Eve he is visited by the far

fairy peas of Christmas

that's a good one and and the sugar Plummer fairy

get it now so I don't really get it either but it will have electric light

this is a royal theater has electric lights too

on the scenery

can you do that oh yeah well will the Crown Prince be there

because you know the show will fail without a good word from the Crown Prince oh but of course he'll be it'll

definitely be I'll be right back empty pickling hurry

she is your favorite I know hurry she will be most definitely

please home possum blossom the awesome

tell me the prince is coming if Miss Pickering is in the princesses well if

the prince is in I think Miss Pickering is in so you get the prince and then

I'll get Miss Pickering okay did you get Zippy going so that I can get the Prince Right Blossom awesome

oh rest assured Prince Frederick will definitely be there very interesting

let me give it some thought happy thought so you'll uh call me tomorrow that is

enough I will be in this show with the lights and the plums and the peas oh and

that's great so you will come fantastic you will not be sorry and the best thing

is that it's all for a good cause and you see I've noticed that people in this town don't always seem to love each

other very well awesome and it's my theory that a big spectacular show filled with beauty and and electric

lights well it'll teach London how to love I don't rehearse before 10 am and I

don't work with animals or children could they miss your Apple tooth happy thought we did it hey she's in the

prince he's coming she's awesome this is great now all we need is that

rhyme it's awesome Gotham blossom

oh brother you've dropped your possum yes princess I think it is true I was

hoping I love my Blossom but the possum is eating my shoe gold millward that's

gold it's our first big break and if the show is really pretty it's our first big

break then I do believe our first big break that we're gonna show this city

how to really love starting Christmas Eve

it's going just as I hoped

what all new Christmas production Saint Bart's church Christmas Eve

okay you've got Charles Street cross street carnaby and pudding Lane that'll take all day well then pack a

lunch Edmond I can't carry anymore I need a break a

break you don't stage the biggest Christmas Pageant London has ever seen by taking a break

Edmond I don't think I could be a sheep why not I think I'm allergic

cotton ba*ls wear a clothespin on your nose you'll be fine oh

how's it going Edmond pretty good Dad we're a little behind schedule but if you could help out I'm sure we could

catch up Edmund a Christmas Pageant doesn't have to be a huge spectacle you know the story of Christmas is so simple

so powerful sometimes a simple presentation is the best way to let the message shine through oh it's Gonna

Shine all right I've got about 20 pounds of glitter do you think that's enough

well I'd love to help but I've got an errand to run there's a family across town they're out of work they don't have

any food for Christmas I'm taking them some groceries oh Dad do you have to do it now the pageant isn't as important as

helping people in need Edmond that's what God did on Christmas he came to us to help us and to show us

how much he loved us and she shall give birth to a son and they shall call him Emmanuel God With Us

I want to show this family the love God showed us then I'll be back

all right but bring more glitter okay oh by the way the church committee met and they

decided that you could use the star of Christmas in your pageant if you're very careful with it Moyer will put it in the

cabinet by the side table for you oh thanks [Music]

oh excuse me sir excuse me

[Music] it's just it's just a bunch of kids but

not a church play I don't know why I was so worried after all I am a big time producer twice

awarded for exemplary work in the dental wax industry I wonder what a star of Christmas is

anyway a big pardon were you asking about the star of Christmas uh yeah yes

indeed the start of Christmas of Canterbury one of the finest existing examples of 6th Century Metal work given

by Saint Gregory the Great to the monks of Canterbury August 14 592. this astonishing gold and silver five-point

star later decorated the Colts of king Edward the Confessor William the Conqueror and James on the project before coming the rest of the church you

see behind you in 1638 why do you ask uh well it's nothing

really they're just going to use it in a uh your Christmas Pageant good Heavens are you certain uh yeah that's

astonishing the star hasn't been publicly displayed since February 12 1803 due to the perceived security risks

from the Reigns of King Charles the greedy and Cedric the I'll eat anything star-shaped that's big news

who are you again all the Hollingshead reporter for the London Post Gazette young man you've given me a fine story

here's topics for your trouble off the presses I've got a Dandy London

needs to know about that patent well well I'm sure a big paper like the Post

Gazette is too busy for a story about a little Christmas Pageant

right it says here the star of Christmas hasn't been seen in 79 years it says our

respectable citizens will want to be in attendance for the re-unveiling of this Priceless artifact at the Christmas

Pageant at St Bart's church on Christmas Eve wow we should go this sounds great

hey that's the same night as your show what a coincidence so this could affect

our attendance a bit I bet they pretty much said you'd have to be an uncultured

swine to miss out on the star well it may not be as bad as you think what have I said all along you can't do

any heavy lifting football injury no besides that what's the other thing I've

said all along you know for any show to open successfully you have to have a

good word from the Crown Prince I remember exactly all we need for opening

night is the prince he comes he sees it he gives it a good word we're a hit we got it made we don't need an audience

but we just need the prince and unless we hear otherwise he's coming

I get it hello Prince Frederick oh hi

yes you do you will you are

you won't I see all right

goodbye

that was a prince and he loved our work on the dental wax ads but he's always been a fan of the

star he'll be in the front row at the church pageant he's not coming

[Music] okay we can beat this we're smarter than

this got any ideas I've still got the receipts for the lights and the telephone and maybe it's not too late to

get our money back and and I think I could return the costumes except for maybe the one Winston's but mustard on

guys this was our big chance our big break remember we were gonna put on a show so

big so beautiful so well lit it was gonna show London how to love now maybe

that isn't important to you too maybe you're thinking oh there's plenty of love out there this town is full of love

well if that's what you think then there's no need for a show like this and

gentlemen let me be the first to show you the way out [Music]

no wait oh canvas shut the door we're with ya oh

that's great guys The Show Must Go On right okay we need the prince to see our

show but he's gonna go see the Christmas Pageant so we do kidnap him is that ill*gal

um no come on let's think well I guess the only way the prince would come to our show is if he thinks

it'll be even more impressive than the star of Christmas short of kidnapping which I hear is

ill*gal now we showed a kidnapping wait no millward

what'd you say I said the only way the prince would come is if he thinks our show is more impressive than the star

which it isn't no but it could be

huh it's our only chance to save the show to teach London to love we've got

to make everything more spectacular we need bigger songs and bigger sets and

most of all lots more lights [Music]

okay from the top thank you so for coming for I think I have a leak show me where the trouble is

I'd like to take a peek here we need to go there is a place where you will find the trouble I'd like to fix it on the

double great great not bad huh not bad at all it could be bigger though how are

we doing on the lights Seymour well I got more lights and but there's no more room on the scenery

[Music] who says we can only put him on the

scenery your pipes are corroded the water won't

drain your toilet explode and you're flashing in bed great Seymour

[Music] foreign

[Applause] [Music] hey you'll have those working in no time right Seymour

sure then I think it's time to call the prince they'll be very excited to hear

about this [Music]

it's ringing yeah put this on so I can keep waking

yes hello this is canvas happy thought the dental wax guy yes well you'll be

pleased to hear that our show The Princess and the plumber is significantly more impressive now you

might even say it's more impressive than the star of Christmas oh yes well the

songs are bigger yeah and the sets are bigger and and get this you will have

electric lights on the costumes it's never been done before and it's

quite impressive yes sir I understand

yes sir he you want to hear the song

for happy jills and happy Jacks use Darlings famous Dental wax

yes sir it's a winner goodbye sir

what'd he say he said the only way he'd come to our show was if we had a star of

Christmas if we hadn't started Christmas how could we have a star of Christmas there's only one right and the church

has it right so if there's only one and they've got it how could we have a star

of Christmas oh

hey got it what's going on

well Moyer thanks for helping out with the ladies Temperance League dinner hi Reverend for being so temperate they

sure can eat let's just keep that to ourselves say did you put the star of Christmas in

the cabinet Hey sir but I'm awfully nervous about leaving it out all night

they're a desperate characters in this town who'd love to get their hands on it

oh Moyer have faith in your fellow man besides anyone who wanted the star would

have to go through you I've had a surprise fighting champ 1851 World Exposition ah second runner-up Moyer the

Destroyer hey let me fighting days are behind me now way back there well we'll

lock up the church real tight tonight just to be safe good night Moyer good night Reverend

[Music]

milward you still here what are you doing

I'm praying to be delivered from the mighty and fearsome hand of warrior the Destroyer would you cut that out if we

don't get that star our careers in theater are over oh that must be it I still don't feel

very good about stealing the star oh no no no no no we're not stealing the star oh we're just borrowing it and

as our show opens we'll bring it right back we will of course and besides we

aren't doing this for us but we're doing it for London London absolutely London

needs us to borrow the star they're practically begging us to borrow the star

I don't hear them metaphorically speaking true trust me it's the right thing to do

wow would you look at that it looks like a turtle well yes I I

suppose if you look at it that way but back then I'm sure it looked like an Exquisite star

it looks like a turtle listen Millard I don't care if it looks like a chicken on a bicycle this is what the prince wants

to see so this is what we're gonna put in our show now grab it and let's get out of here before we wake up what's his

name okay okay

guess things couldn't get any worse is that where they are it's them Constable The Vicious Hooligans that stole the

style of Christmas the end foreign

[Music] Christmas Eve in jail

that wasn't part of the plan oh millward I'm sorry

that's okay kavis [Music]

just wanted to teach London to love Dage London to love huh

teach London to love now exactly where you got to do that well

you know a big stage show with great songs and in costumes and and lots of

electric lights what

teach London to love with light bulbs well not not all by themselves well

maybe you could teach London to read with light bulbs even there was a night school

the costumes would help listen Governor I don't know where you're from but

you're more likely to teach a horse to fly than teach this city to love or any City for that matter

hasn't anyone been nice to you I sure Blair could be nice to you what do you

want something from you I bet you're real nice to your actors when you need them but that ain't love

giving up something for someone when they don't deserve it and there's nothing in it for you that's love go

into someone who needs help when you won't get nothing back that's love but I ain't never seen anything like

that least wise not around here

man if you ask me you can't teach Amanda love it's not in his nature [Music]

London the love with light bulbs they're at a pip

Mr pincher star thieves dinner time happy Christmas Eve

oh yeah you two have company huh oh it must be Seymour he said he'd come as

soon as he could huh what are you guys doing here

oh I guess you're pretty mad about the star huh well go ahead yell away we're

getting what we deserve we aren't here to yell at you what we well it was

really Edmond's idea I've been teaching him about Christmas that God loved us so much he sent his

son Jesus who would be called Emmanuel God With Us and that God came to help us even when we didn't deserve it because

he loved us so when Edmund saw what happened he decided we needed to do the same thing for you

what does that mean exactly it means we aren't going to press charges we're

forgiving you the judge says you can go

oh thanks guys this really means a lot thank you guys

hey since we don't have anything else to do we can come see your pageant yeah

what well the pageant starts in 10 minutes and it took us more than an hour to walk

over here well how are you going to get back in time we weren't

pageant just to come help us Edmond didn't want you to spend Christmas in

jail now you're gonna miss the pageant maybe not

I came as soon as I could if there's anything I can do hey why are you in The

Slammer Seymour remember how you promised I could take the rocket carriage for a ride sometime uh yeah

[Music]

okay it's time to put on a pageant but Edmond you don't have the star at

Christmas do you didn't steal the real star of Christmas what we didn't no the real

star of Christmas isn't something you can steal in fact it isn't something at

all oh right

I do need a new Star of Bethlehem though can you guys help me out

oh yeah we can handle that [Music]

[Music] so Joseph went up from the town of

Nazareth to Bethlehem he went there with Mary who was pledged to be married to

him and was expecting a child while they were there the time came for

the baby to be born she wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a Manger

because there was no room for them in the end and there were shepherds living out in

the fields nearby keeping watch over their flocks at night

an angel of the Lord appeared to them and they were terrified

but the angel said don't be afraid I bring you good news a great joy that

will be for all people today in the town of Dave a savior has

been born to you he is Christ the lord after Jesus was born wise men from the

East came to Jerusalem and asked where is the one who has been born King

of the Jews we saw his star in the east and have come to worship Him

[Music]

they saw his star [Music]

and [Music]

[Applause] [Music]

all this to a place to fulfill what the prophet had said she will give birth to

a son and they will call him Emmanuel God With Us

[Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music]
