One of the biggest songs for Christmas in America over recent years has been the song 'Christmas Shoes' from the contemporary Christian group NewSong. This song climbed the Billboard charts to become #1 in just three weeks. It is with this success that Benson Music Publishing is proud to bring to you The Christmas Shoes, A Dramatic Musical for Christmas. Donna VanLiere, who adapted this script from her St. Martin's Press novel, also titled Christmas Shoes, has crafted this theatrical production, based upon the story behind the song Christmas Shoes. The drama takes you through the lives of two families. One family, the Layton's, have all the resources and wealth they need, but still find something missing in their lives. The second family, the Andrew's, do not have much to give at Christmas, but they have each other and a house full of love. Come see how the innocent love of a child buying Christmas shoes for his critically ill mother changes the heart of a "Grinch." Songs include: As The World Slept - Christmas Decorations Medley (Deck the Halls/Jingle Bells/Joy To The World) - Christmas Shoes - Don't Leave Jesus Off Your Christmas List - I Believe In Christmas - Silent Night Medley (Silent Night/Away In A Manger/God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen) - Sing Noel - Sing Noel (Reprise) - You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch.
