Show Description

The Brentwood Kids Music Club presents “The Christmas Cupcake: A Simple Plus Christmas Musical About the Sweetest Story Ever Told!” Noelle receives the exciting news that she and three others from her church have been randomly selected to appear on the Yum Yum Foodie Network with a highly recognized and popular group of chefs (Daisy Queen, Guy Spaghetti, and Betty Rocker) for The Cutest Christmas Cupcake Contest. Noelle becomes so distracted about her impending stardom that she loses sight of the real meaning of Christmas. In this charmingly simple musical, you'll discover how Noelle's friends help remind her about the sweetest story ever told!

Appropriate for all ages.

Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:15 to 4:30 p.m. except production week. There will also be a couple of weeks where there is a Thursday rehearsal instead of a Wednesday rehearsal. Production week rehearsals run every day 11/29/21 – 12/03/21 during the school day.
Practices do not conflict with Melody Makers
Students should bring their own snack and water bottle to rehearsal and meet in the EBL music room directly after school. Snacks need to be nut-free and as non-messy as possible because they will be eating them in the music room.
Carpool pickup is in the lower loop carpool. Students will be walked to the loop at 4:35 but parents can pick up students outside of the music room at 4:30.
Cast members are expected to be at all required rehearsals.
If your student MUST miss a rehearsal (other than dates specified during your registration), you MUST notify director at Emaline.Allen@chca-oh.org and EBL.music@chca-oh.org BEFORE the fact. Multiple absences may jeopardize your student’s role even if they are prearranged and excused.
