Description:

Looking to cast men and women for "Elf" The Musical. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: 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. This modern-day holiday classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner elf. After all, the best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loudly for all to hear. Additional info: All characters must sing, dance, and act. All those auditioning must sign up for an audition time and will be expected to stay for the entirety of the audition.
