THE LITTLEST LIGHT ON THE CHRISTMAS TREE is a timeless story of wonder and the power of believing. Adapted from the award winning animated film featuring Emmy and Tony award winners JANE SEYMOUR and JAMES NAUGHTON, the story of Little Light comes to life in this enchanting, heartwarming holiday musical.

Set in a time after the great second World War this magical musical follows the story about two unforgettable friends. An abandoned, discarded Christmas bulb, afraid and alone…and an eight-year-old boy who finds him and takes him home. Broken and useless, Little Light is of no value to anyone – except to young Timothy who sees himself in Little Light’s plight. Timothy’s belief is so strong that Little Light can ‘shine’ again that when the town suffers a blackout from a fierce winter storm, Little Light triumphs over all odds – and his own self doubt – to ‘shine’, lighting the way for others who ‘see the light’. THE LITTLEST LIGHT ON THE CHRISTMAS TREE is a warm and touching animated story about the miracle of believing and the power of the human heart.
