A title known the world over, Elf the Musical is a holiday must-see! Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Discovering that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. Embrace your inner elf! After all, the best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear.
