Full of laughter, song, dance and a good dose of Christmas spirit!
Elf the Musical is a hilarious tale of Buddy, who as a young orphan child crawled into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. Unaware that he is human, Buddy’s enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father, discover his true identity, and help everyone remember the true meaning of Christmas. This modern-day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner ELF.
