Music and Lyrics by Harry Connick, Jr. Book by Lauren Gunderson & Andrew Fishman.
Based on the song by Harry Connick, Jr. Adapted from the television show written by Andrew Fishman.
Based on the animated film written by Harry Connick Jr, this hilarious and jazzy-styled show is destined to become a new holiday classic! It’s Christmas Eve and Eubie the Elf wants nothing more than to be on Santa’s sleigh team. But he is stuck checking the nice and naughty list. When he realizes the entire town of Bluesville has zero people on the nice list, Eubie uses this opportunity to make his way down to this dreary little town and bring some Christmas joy to the folks that live there. But can he get a fresh batch of people for the nice list before Santa hits the night sky?
HAPPY ELF is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
