38 roles
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.
Is the perfect elf! He’s good-natured, he means well, and he is happy& all the time. There’s only one problem. He’s not an elf – he’s an adult human.
Are Santa’s special helpers who love their job making toys to meet their Christmas Eve deadline.
Is in charge of monitoring the other Elves, making sure every present is wrapped and every bow is tied.

Is one of Walter’s Office Staff who is in a bind at the top of the show.
Is Buddy’s real father, and 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.
Is Walter’s secretary, and has the big responsibility of keeping her boss and the whole office happy. She does this by sharing her positive attitude with everyone.
Is Walter’s devoted wife who would prefer her husband to spend a little more time at home. She is a problem solver and an excellent mother who is doing everything she can to provide a positive family dynamic.

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.

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.
Works as a Macy’s Employee and announces when each kid gets to visit with Santa.
Is a poor replacement for the real Santa. He’s an employee of Macy’s who is a bit rough around the edges.
Are a friendly pair of cops who return Buddy to the Hobbs household.
A staff member at Walter’s office.

Are staff members at Walter’s office who are doing everything they can think of to save the day and make their boss happy.
