The musical comedy will appeal to the entire family and brings to the stage a Santa Claus different from the usual who, too fattened for eating the candy sent to him by a mysterious admirer, no longer able to go into the chimneys and then to deliver presents to children during Christmas Eve. With the help of Nettle and Castagna, the elves helpers, and Federico and Chiara, the two young stars, will address, including twists and songs, several difficulties, not least the dangerous pitfalls sown here and there from the very bad terrible plan magician Bisesti.
