The magic inside a book you never knew existed
The Flying Elephant Company, proudly supported by the City of Burnside, presents the world premiere of Book Nooks – A Christmas Musical, with an orchestral score reminiscent of Sondheim, and a Dickensian tale full of magic and joy.
On Christmas Eve, 11-year-old Jack Barker moves into his grandpa's old house. At first, Jack
refuses to join the celebrations, believing that doing so would be leaving his grandpa
behind. However, one night Jack finds himself in a magical village of Grunkels – the
miniature makers of Christmas sweets – who have made their homes within the forgotten
encyclopedias and history books that sit atop his grandpa’s bookcases. The Grunkels must
help Jack find his joy before Christmas Morning, otherwise they may never see the Nell
shine again. As he grows close to the whimsical creatures, Jack rediscovers his joy just in
time to make it home for Christmas.
What better way to end the school year than to discover a little bit of Christmas magic?
