About

Elf The Musical, inspired by the hit film, is the hilarious and heartwarming tale of Buddy, a young orphan child whose life is changed forever when he mistakenly crawls into Santa's sack of toys one Christmas Eve. When he discovers he is human, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and, in turn, helps the Big Apple rediscover the true meaning of Christmas. This all-new tour, based on the acclaimed 2024 Broadway production, was hailed by The New York Times, which said, "The show has CRACKED THE CODE OF ALL-AGES COMEDY, the kind that will leave children and grown-ups equally helpless with laughter," and celebrated in The New Yorker, "It's enough to MAKE YOU BELIEVE IN THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS." This modern-day holiday classic, says The Daily Beast, "is a gift for kids and adults, and a very 'sparklejollytwinklejingley' night out!"

    Elf was verey cute and a family friendly show. It was energetic and entertaining. I only wish they would have sang "Baby, It's Cold Outside" during the performance.

    Elf was cute. There were some similarities to the movie but some good differences so you weren't left comparing. The music was good. Great entertainment for the whole family with the same wonderful message.

    Elf was just the thing to kick off the Christmas season. Great talent and even better than the movie. Deserved a standing ovation. The kind of musical I could go to over and over again!

    Elf was great! I'm a big fan of the movie, so I couldn't wait to see the show. I took my mother and we both enjoyed it. We noted that some scenes were different from the movie and even slightly inappropriate for children (language, suggestive dialogue). Definitely a great way to kick off the Christmas season!

    Some over-acting and over-singing by key roles in the musical, the set looked cheap and several of the songs were just horrible. While it's a humorous and endearing story, I thought this production came up way short.

    Elf was definitely funny but if you are expecting it to be exactly like the movie - don't. there still is a lot of the famous one liners but there were so many in the movie. I took my 7yr old who really enjoyed it but I did hear a lot of comments from kids that it wasn't like the movie. overall the movie really made us laugh and was all together enjoyable
