Santa's Head Elf, Chestnut (Telly Leung, Aladdin), has convinced the whole North Pole to adopt modern technology and go virtual. That means all the planning, the toys, the mayhem—it's all happening online. And we get to watch!
At the beginning of the Christmas Season, all the elves are all feeling confident in their roles—including our mismatched protagonists: upbeat Crumpet (Julia Mattison, Godspell) and grumpy Raisin (Ann Harada, Avenue Q).
But when Santa (James Monroe Iglehart, Tony Award winner for Genie in Aladdin) announces that he'll be supervising the season remotely this year, Raisin and Crumpet must take on the biggest responsibility of all: the famous "Naughty and Nice List".
As the seasonal pressure mounts, Chestnut's innovative plans start to fall apart. Workshop elves Cookie (Jennifer Barnhart, Avenue Q), Fruitcake (Nick Kohn, Avenue Q) and Gumdrop (Don Darryl Rivera, Aladdin) are running dangerously low on Christmas spirit. Even worse, overworked Crumpet takes a turn for the militant and starts putting kids on the Naughty List for minor infractions. Pretty soon, it looks like no one will be getting any presents at all. Can Raisin convince everyone that no one is all naughty or all nice?
Luckily, Santa appears just in time to spread some holiday cheer and remind us all that Christmas is about bringing people together—no matter who or where we are.
