In the Broadway adaptation of the movie, "Buddy" was played by an actor who looked like an Elf. (!!!) But the original film's greatest and fundamental joke came from the fact that Buddy was played by a slightly overweight middle aged businessman (Will Ferrell). This is the kind of thinking that can drive good writers insane. Good luck with this production, Folks ! Looks good here.
I actually went to the play!
