Show Description: Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf grows up, unaware that he is actually a human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity.  Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. 

​

All roles are available.

​

Please prepare a song from the show (see suggestions below by role) or a song that best shows your voice in a similar broadway style.  Please bring sheet music in your key if you are singing a song that is NOT from the show.   You should be prepared to move and there will be cold readings from the script.

Audition Song: Never Fall in Love with an Elf
