Description

In a frosty palace perched at the North Pole, a lively troupe of snow‑fairies, a fast‑talking secretary, and the jolly patriarch of Christmas prepare for a night unlike any other. The production blends witty dialogue with jaunty songs, letting the audience peek behind the curtain of Santa’s workshop while reveling in flamboyant costumes—from fur‑clad coats to sparkling fairy dresses—that set a playful, theatrical tone.

Act I follows the bemused Santa as he wrestles with his daughter Kitty’s sudden craving to experience life among mortals, where “men are plenty.” She confides in the ever‑scheming Gussie, who offers his own brand of clever counsel, while the snow‑fairies chant a cheerful anthem about winter’s magic. Amid banter and musical numbers, Santa promises to find Kitty a suitable companion before he himself sets off on a midnight sleigh ride, leaving the audience to wonder how the North Pole’s orderly world will cope with such a daring wish.

About the authors

Everett Elliott

Known today for a delightfully odd corner of Christmas folklore, this little-documented writer co-created one of the earliest works to feature Santa Claus’s daughter. The surviving record is slim, but the work itself has kept Everett Elliott’s name in circulation for modern readers and theater-curious holiday fans.
