The beloved holiday film comes to life in this hilarious musical adaptation. Buddy, a human orphan, accidentally makes his way into Santa’s bag of gifts and is carted off to the North Pole. There he is raised as an elf, until his enormous size and poor toy-making capabilities cannot be denied any longer. With Santa’s permission, Buddy sets out for New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. The ensuing adventure will have you embracing your “inner elf” in no time! This event will be from 7-9 pm.
