Enjoy a magical romp through a holiday classic on stage starring local talented kids! Based on the beloved film, Elf Jr. The Musical is a holiday classic sure to make spectators of every age embrace his or her "inner elf" with plenty of large ensemble numbers featuring elves and New Yorkers of every type. 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 human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth.
