Buddy, a young orphan child, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts, and is transported back to the North Pole and raised by Santa. Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy's enormous size and poor toy-making skills force him to face the truth about where he came from.

With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father, discover his true identity, and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Based on beloved hit movie, "Elf The Musical" features songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin ("The Wedding Singer"), with a book by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan ("Annie," "The Producers," "Hairspray") and Bob Martin ("The Drowsy Chaperone"). The production will feature direction by Sam Scalamoni and choreography by Connor Gallagher.
