ABOUT THE SHOW
Based on the beloved holiday film, Elf JR. tells the hilarious and heartwarming story of Buddy, a young human raised by elves at the North Pole.
When Buddy discovers he's not actually an elf, he sets off on an unforgettable journey to New York City to find his father and discover where he belongs.
Along the way, Buddy spreads Christmas cheer, makes new friends, and reminds everyone that the true spirit of the holidays comes from love, family, and believing in a little magic!
Featuring energetic musical numbers, colorful characters, and plenty of laughs, Elf JR. is a holiday adventure the whole family will enjoy!
