CCPA_Elf the MusicalELF the Musical
Covedale Center for the Performing Arts
Dec. 2-26
[West Price Hill]

Directed by Tim Perrino
Music directed by Greg Dastillung
Choreographed by Cassidy Steele

Cast: Christopher Wells as Buddy, Justin Glaser as Walter, Kelsey Chandler as Deb, Hana Conte as Michael, Annie Schneider as Emily, Kayla Stroud as Jovie, Dan Cohen as Santa, Dave Woellert as Mr. Greenway/Ensemble, Jerrod Gruber as Store Manager/Ensemble

Based on the beloved holiday film, this hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy follows Buddy the Elf in his quest to find his true identity. Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human until his 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 and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. The best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear.
