Far away in the frozen North Pole, Santa’s elves are working long and hard to find the perfect wrapping for each child’s hand-picked gift, while closer to home in the town of Wimpole, a wicked plan is under way to replace the beautiful gifts with tacky toys from Plasticopia, and so to destroy the magic of Christmas!
Could this be the end of the roll for the elves? Can the greedy Smash & Grab twins really succeed in tearing out the heart of Christmas and replacing it with a £ sign? Will their Ninja Knights on oily bikes replace Santa’s reindeer? Or can brave Little Elf undo the evil doings and finally save the day? And who exactly are the MINT Spies?
Find the answers to all of these questions and more in this fun, festive adventure filled with bags of humour and eight fantastic songs.
An Annual Performance Licence is required to perform this title. For more information, please click here.

There are 48 speaking parts plus 5 essential non-speaking reindeer roles, 3 essential non-speaking child roles (Child 4, 5 & 6) and an essential non-speaking floor manager, so a cast size of 57 as a minimum.
INCREASING THE CAST SIZE
The speaking parts can easily be increased to 60 if you allow for additional workers and shoppers and split the lines accordingly. Have as many additional non-speaking elves, reindeer, children, shoppers and workers as you like.
DECREASING THE CAST SIZE
The cast list can be reduced to 42 (42 speaking parts, doubling those up for essential non-speaking parts) by doing the following:
- Reduce number of teachers to 3 and reallocate lines accordingly
- Reduce number of shop assistants from 4 to 2 and split lines between them
- The 3 teachers and 2 shop assistants double up as the 5 essential non-speaking reindeer
- Just have Press 1 who says all ‘Press’ lines and doubles as Child 6
- The 2 shop assistants double as the 2 Ninja Knight Riders and Child 4 & 5
- Different children to take the role of Floor Manager when they are free to do so
(Total length of music: 22 minutes approx)

Fantastic
The best Christmas performance to date. My daughter and year 4 performed this and it was such a funny, energetic play. It was obvious that the children have loved this as much as the parents. I think “no one raps like an elf” will be sung throughout Christmas. If you’re thinking of purchasing this you will not be disappointed.
Really Fun!!
Me & my Class preformed this in yr 6 and it was really Fun & Funny!! I really enjoyed this Play, and it was realyy fun singing the songs with my Freinds! I defiently recommend this play!! :)
Fun, engaging and creative!
We really enjoyed the production of No one Wraps like an Elf last year. It was fun, engaging and the songs were particularly creative. The children loved how the songs were upbeat and the audience also enjoyed them. We really liked the message behind the play- personally I think it was one of my favourite plays we have produced recently.
Absolutely Fantastic!
We had P5 & P6 perform they thoroughly loved it. The songs were ideal and the kids particularly loved the rapping aspect incorporated into the songs. They found the songs cool & upbeat. The other teachers & parents found it very entertaining and received lots of laughs!
