"Buddy sneaks into Santa's Bag and ends up at the North Pole, where he is raised as an elf. Despite his enormous size, he does not realize he is human. Eventually, the fact that he cannot make toys, forces him to face the truth. The story of Buddy's journey to New York City to find his true identity is full of twists, turns, and laughs. This modern holiday classic
with music by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Begueline and book by Bob Martin and Thomas Meehan features a host of songs and energetic dance numbers to help the whole family discover its inner 'elf.'"
