Samuel the Lamanite (2006), 6

1h 8min | Musical | Video 2 November 2006
When her choir teacher is suspended for refusing to remove 'Silent Night' from the line-up of songs at the school's winter concert, Amelia is heartbroken. 
Directors: Dennis Agle Jr., Aaron Edson 
Writer: Dennis Agle Jr.
Stars: T.J. Young, Gene Young, Lauren Faber.

Watched on AmazonPrime.

No songs in the Soundtracks, but plenty in the story. This is a true book Musical, with characters singing songs to deliver ideas and plot. Most songs seems to be original to this project.

The modern story about the concert is the shell from which the story of Samuel is told, and the ancient characters are the ones singing. The non-believers perform in a kitschy way, the believers sing ballads.

OK.

Rated 8.5 (22)
