Kids & Teens Wanted for "Elf Jr." Musical

Santa Claus has a lot on his plate during the Christmas season, and it is starting to show. He is annoyed with the Elves, tired of lying to Buddy, and sad that people seem to be losing their Christmas spirit. He is still the same jolly old St. Nick underneath it all, but the job is getting to him. This is a great role for a character performer who can play an older (and somewhat cranky) man while trying hard to keep his holiday spirit. Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: Bb3

Buddy is the perfect elf! He's good-natured, he means well, and he's happy& all the time. There's only one problem. He's not an elf' he's an adult human. This role is perfect for a young man who is an excellent actor and good singer who has the energetic earnestness and comedic timing that Buddy needs. Vocal range top: G5 Vocal range bottom: B3

The Elves are Santa's special helpers who love their job making toys to meet their Christmas Eve deadline.

Sam is one of Walter's Office Staff who is in a bind at the top of the show.

Walter Hobbs, Buddy's real father, is so focused on keeping his job that he is not making time for his family. He can be stern and unemotional at times, but ultimately he learns to recommit to his family. Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: B3

Deb, Walter's secretary, has the big responsibility of keeping her boss and the whole office happy. She does this by sharing her positive attitude with everyone.

Security Guard #1 and Security Guard #2 are a stern duo from Walter s office, making sure everyone who enters has permission.

The Saleswoman is the first person to greet Buddy as he enters Macy's. She's the consummate salesperson: smiling, overfriendly, and always trying to sell something.

The manager is a terrific featured acting role for a performer with good comedic timing. As the manager of Macy's, he's doing everything he can to make sure all the employees stay in line.

Jovie works as a store elf at Macy's, but don't be mistaken' she doesn't quite exude the Christmas spirit. She's kind of cynical, a bit tough around the edges, and now the target of Buddy's complete adoration. This is a fantastic role for a young woman with a strong singing voice and acting chops.

Santa's Helper works as a Macy's Employee and announces when each kid gets to visit with Santa.

Fake Santa is a poor replacement for the real Santa. He's an employee of Macy's who is a bit rough around the edges. Fake Santa should be played by a performer who is unafraid of being a little over-the-top and has good physical control of his body.
