Have you ever wondered who filled Santa’s stocking as a boy? Or why he carries out his annual mission every year? All is revealed in this delightful and exciting play telling the story of Santa’s childhood. Follow young Elf Nikolai (Tom Robinson) as he is rescued by flying reindeers from the destruction of his home, grows up amongst humans and returns to the North Pole to seek his destiny and save the world’s children from the evil sorceress, Magda (Joy Andrews).
Based on the successful children’s novel by local author Lucy Daniel Raby* and adapted by her for the stage, this enchanting play combines all the traditional seasonal ingredients: heroes, villains, witches, talking animals, elves and goblins in a sparkling new theatrical experience bursting with foot tapping original songs.
This is the World Premier of the show with all new music by Geoff Tinniswood (once an Archway member, recently touring the UK professionally as Musical Director on shows such as ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’ and ‘South Pacific’).
We have a fantastic cast of 26, bursting with energy, all ready to help you blow away the January blues - so come along and start the new year in style.
