CREATIVITY SOARS ON STAGE SUGAR-SPRINKLED HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT
Packed with mesmerizing visuals, irresistible songs and plenty of
laughs, FINDING NEVERLAND is a timeless story about the power
of imagination from visionary Tony® Award-winning director Diane
Paulus and based on the critically-acclaimed Academy® Award-
winning film. ELF The Musical is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan child
who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported
back to the North Pole. Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy’s
enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth.
With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City
to find his birth father, discover his true identity, and help New York
remember the true meaning of Christmas. This modern day Christmas
classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner ELF.
