This heart-warming musical brings to life a favorite holiday movie on stage. Narrated by Santa, follow the story of Buddy, an oversized elf raised in the North Pole. When he realizes he is actually human, Buddy travels to New York City to find his real father, who is (shockingly!) on the naughty list.
