Casting performers for "Elf" The Musical, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: In this heart-warming musical, Santa narrates the story of Buddy, an apparently oversized elf who has been raised in the North Pole. During the lead up to Christmas, Buddy overhears the other elves discussing how he is really a human but hasn’t realized. He is devastated and Santa must reveal to his wannabe elf that baby Buddy mistakenly crawled into Santa's bag of gifts on Christmas Eve many years ago and was transported to the North Pole on Santa’s return home. With Santa's blessing, Buddy decides to travel to New York City to find his real father (who is on the naughty list). Shocked that his own father could be on the naughty list, he is further astounded that his half-brother doesn't believe in Santa. How can this be? Buddy decides to change the outlook and behavior of his new family and bring the true meaning of Christmas back into New York City. Along the way, he discovers friendship, romance, and his true identity. Elf is a modern day holiday classic that aims to spread Christmas cheer for all to hear!

10 roles
Vocal Range: Ab2-C5 Buddy is the perfect elf! He is good-natured, he means well, and he is happy all the time. A bull-in-a-china-shop, yet full of fun. Energetically earnest, comedic personality. Excellent singer with improvisation skills and dance skills.
Vocal Range: G3-D5 Guarded, appealing, relatable, yet a bit cynical. When we first meet Jovie, her vulnerability is well-hidden underneath a tough façade. She doesn’t have much Christmas spirit until she meets Buddy, who adores her completely. Excellent singer with dance skills.
Vocal Range: A2-G4 A strong, authoritative presence, Walter can be stern and unemotional, but we see his softer side when Buddy comes into his life, and he recommit to his family. Strong singer.
Vocal Range: F3-Eb5 Emily is warm and witty; the eternal problem solver, as well as a devoted wife and mother. She quickly embraces Buddy and appreciates the renewed sense of childlike innocence she feels with Buddy around. Excellent singer with dance/movement skills.
Vocal Range: D4-Eb5 Walter’s secretary, who has the big responsibility of keeping her boss and the whole office happy. She does this by sharing her cheerful outlook with everyone. Sharply witty. Excellent singer with dance skills.
Vocal Range: A2-E4 Just another workingman. Loves his job and Christmas, but also likes to kick-back and watch the game when a rare opportunity arises. A natural storyteller.
Vocal Range: Bb3-D5 Walter’s boss is a shrewd businessman with a commanding presence and no joy in his heart for the holiday; the antithesis of Santa. Good singer.
One of Walter's right-hand men. He is desperate to keep his job, and perhaps the dumber of the two.
