Buddy is raised by elves, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and his stepbrother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

October 24–28 So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. Back by popular demand, Wicked returns to Seattle with its vivid rei- magining of the classic The Wizard of Oz. This Broadway sensation spotlights the untold stories of Oz's most famous (or infamous) characters, the Wicked Witch of the West and her unlikely friend, Glinda the Good. The show follows green-skinned star Elphaba from birth to college and through the life-changing events that even- tually label her "wicked." It also introduces spoiled rich girl Glinda, local prince and heartthrob Fiyero, and even the Wizard of Oz himself. A cautionary tale about love, friendship and trust, Wicked reveals that there are indeed two sides to every story.
