Putti Plutti Pott And Santa's Beard
''Putti Plutti Pott and Santa's Beard'' (original Norwegian title: ''Putti Plutti Pott og Julenissens Skjegg'') is a Norwegian children's musical theatre, musical written by Per Asplin. It has become a Norwegian cultural institution. It originally appeared as a Christmas album in 1969, but in 1970 NRK, the Norwegian national broadcaster, televised a staged version starring Asplin. This version was broadcast every year for decades. In 1987 Asplin again starred in a traveling big-budget stage production. This continued until his death in 1996. There are now annual productions in many Norwegian cities throughout the holiday season. Story Putti Plutti Pott, who is Santa's grandchild, steals Santa's beard while it's hanging out to dry. He is transported from Nisseland (Santa's Village) to our world. If he doesn't get back with the beard, Christmas won't come.

Musical Theatre
Musical theatre is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting and dance. The story and emotional content of a musical – humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole. Although musical theatre overlaps with other theatrical forms like opera and dance, it may be distinguished by the equal importance given to the music as compared with the dialogue, movement and other elements. Since the early 20th century, musical theatre stage works have generally been called, simply, musicals. Although music has been a part of dramatic presentations since ancient times, modern Western musical theatre emerged during the 19th century, with many structural elements established by the works of Gilbert and Sullivan in Britain and those of Harrigan and Hart in America. These were followed by the numerous Edwardian musical comedies and the musical theatre w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
