Star Bucks! The Musical by John Jacobson and Walter Jack. Santa is preparing for his annual trip around the world, led by Rudolph and the other reindeer. But wait -- Rudolph is so stressed out that his nose will not shine. He needs a sabbatical! But who can take his place? Santa hosts a musical competition (aka "Dancing with the Stars") to find out who will have the chance to be the next Star Buck and lead the sleigh. This wonderful holiday feature will be a hit with your audience. The approximate run time for this musical is 40 minutes.

This musical is a treasure trove for teachers, including a comprehensive guide with a script, piano scores, and reproducible vocal and lyric sheets. With your purchase, you'll also receive a digital download packed with projectables (lyrics/notation), videos (lyrics/notation/choreography), vocal and accompaniment tracks, and the teacher guide in digital format.
