Wayne Knight, who played Jerry Seinfeld’s nemesis Newman on Seinfeld, will have some big, red pants to fill this November when he steps in as Santa in the Broadway musical Elf. The Exes star will assume the role originally played by George Wendt in the 2010 production based on Will Ferrell’s 2003 movie. Tony award winner Beth Leavel, Mark Jacoby, Valerie Wright, and Adam Heller will reprise their roles as Emily, Walter, Deb, and Mr. Greenway, respectively, and Casey Nicholaw returns to direct and choreograph.

It's easy enough to sit through the Broadway production of "Elf" and feel yourself transforming into Scrooge. That, however, would mistakenly suggest it is easy to sit through "Elf."
The play, like the 2003 Will Ferrell movie, is about a guy who thinks he's an elf, but is actually human. Buddy (Sebastian Arcelus, "Jersey Boys," "Wicked") is not as fast as the others in making toys, or in much else. Then, one day, Buddy overhears two elves talking and discovers the truth.
"I can't believe you didn't see this coming," Santa tells Buddy, "You're 6'2" and I have to order your tights on Amazon."
Santa urges Buddy to visit his dad, who works in the Empire State Building. Buddy asks what New York is like, and the sage advice Santa dispenses is, "There are like 30 Rays Pizza and they all say they are the original. It's on 6th Avenue and 11th Street.

Just because something is dressed up in candy cane stripes and features a fat guy in a red Santa suit doesn't automatically make it an instant feel-good Christmas classic.
Santa, by the way, is George Wendt (Norm, of Cheers fame) and is the smartest person in the production - he's barely on stage. When he is, he's fine. Wendt sings a little, reminds the audience in a clever enough way to turn off their cell phones, and open their candy in the beginning of the show.
It's wonderful when a seasonal show lures in audience members who would not normally go to the theater. This becomes painfully obvious when the woman behind him me screamed "Norm" whenever Wendt entered and the man in front of me...
