The biblical story of DANIEL IN THE LIONS’ DEN presented as short musical (15-20 min) for ages 7-13 by Freddie Green, of magicparrot plays The story: Daniel is an official in Babylon and is well liked by King Darius. The other officials are jealous of Daniel. They trick Darius into signing a law making it illegal to pray to any God except him.

The tricksters are thrown into the lions’ den instead. This is a wonderful enjoyable musical play supported by three great original songs and an exotic dance number. No musical ability is needed if you use the backing tracks to sing along to.
