The Happy Elf
Music and Lyrics by Harry Connick, Jr., Book by Andrew Fishman; Directed by Jeff Church Musical direction by Molly Jessup; Producers: Scott Landis, HC Productions and the Coterie Theatre

Tony nominated composer and Grammy®-winner Harry Connick, Jr. creates a toe-tapping original score based on his original song, “The Happy Elf,” from his best-selling 2003 Harry for the Holidays Christmas album for this charming new holiday live-jazz musical. Meet Eubie, a North Pole elf whose constant exuberance wears others down. Eubie's overly optimistic outlook is put to the test when he decides to bring Christmas joy to the sad little town of Bluesville , which has fallen into a state of permanent blues. If Eubie can fix Bluesville, he might win a coveted slot on Santa's Sleigh Team! The fifth musical to be developed in the Coterie’s Lab for New Family Musicals.
