ELF the Musical tells the story of Buddy, who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag as a baby and is raised as an elf.
Way too tall and not so great at his job, Buddy is the North Pole’s biggest misfit… and knows he’ll never belong.
When Santa tells him the truth, Buddy heads to New York City to find his birth father, who turns out to be quite high on the naughty list.
After causing some merry mayhem in Manhattan, Buddy finally discovers the gift of family and falls in love.
And when Santa’s sleigh crashes in Central Park, it’s Buddy who finds a way to save Christmas forever!
ELF the Musical is produced by Temple Live Entertainment.
