Along the way, Buddy’s childlike spirit and enthusiasm help a cynical world rediscover the joy of the holiday season.
The production first premiered on Broadway in 2010 and was revived twice in 2012 and 2014. There have been multiple West End productions with the most recent in 2023 at the Dominion Theatre.
