The Tale of the Three Billy Goats Gruff 
Retold in script and songs by Betsy Lee Bailey

Picture
This 15 minute Classroom Musical is a play within a play.  The Norwegian folktale is acted out as a puppet show by children who are stuck indoors on a rainy day.  The cast calls for two girls and 2 boys and a "mother."  The rest of the class sings the songs along with the actors.  This piece would work well as a portion of a Chorus Concert. The songs feature influences from Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg as inspiration.
