Get a FIRST LOOK at the new ELF musical Christmas special!

Broadway and Hollywood star Jim Parsons shows off his theatrical side as THE VOICE of the titular character in NBC's upcoming holiday musical event based on the modern holiday movie classic and subsequent stage musical ELF, titled ELF: BUDDY'S MUSICAL CHRISTMAS.

The official description of ELF: BUDDY'S MUSICAL CHRISTMAS is as follows: '"Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas" combines the humor and spirit of both the beloved 2003 holiday film, which drew glowing reviews and earned $173 million at the domestic box office, and the hit Broadway production. The special is an all-new retelling of Buddy's delightfully absurd yet heartwarming story and blends the look and feel of the stop-motion animated Christmas specials of the past with the sharp sensibility of the modern-day classic holiday film. Santa narrates the story of Buddy's travels to New York City to meet the father he never knew he had. Along the way his unrelenting cheer transforms the lives of everyone he meets and opens his father's eyes to the magic of Christmas. THE VOICE cast also includes Mark Hamill, Ed Asner, Fred Armisen, Jay Leno, Matt Lauer, Gilbert Gottfried, Kate Micucci, Rachael MacFarlane, Max Charles and Steve Higgins."

ELF: BUDDY'S MUSICAL CHRISTMAS is scheduled to air on December 16 at 8 PM.
