Elf: The Musical On Tour
Since its release in 2003, Elf has risen to the rank of a modern Christmas-movie classic. The film tells the story of Buddy, a North Pole toy-maker who slowly comes to the realization that he's not like the other elves (his 6'3" height being but the first tip-off). Soon he sets off to New York City in search of his real father, leaving a trail of trashed-up department stores, snowball-fight victims, and syrup-soaked spaghetti in his wake. Will Ferrell's hilarious yet heartfelt portrayal of Buddy has transformed the character into a Christmas icon on par with Santa, Rudolph, and Frosty, and the legend of Elf only grows each holiday season, as new generations discover it.
While a much-rumored sequel has yet to materialize, Buddy's tale has found another home on the stage. In November 2010, the musical adaptation of Elf debuted on Broadway, with an original score by the Tony Award-nominated team of composer Matthew Sklar and lyricist Chad Beguelin, and a book by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan (The Producers) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone) that takes some liberties with the film's plot. For one, the play is narrated by Santa Claus himself, rather than the Papa Elf character. But thanks to jaunty, wintry showtunes like "Christmastown" and "Sparklejollytwinklejingley," Elf: The Musical has become a phenomenon in its own right. After smashing box office records at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on Broadway, the play has spawned a touring production, a soundtrack album, and an animated TV-special offshoot on NBC (2014's Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas). In 2018, the play hit the road again, venturing across the United States to ensure that seeing Elf on stage remains an annual holiday tradition on par with watching Elf on screen.

by SadElf on 12/28/15North Charleston Performing Arts Center - North CharlestonBuddy was too FLAMBOYANT! The majority of the scenes that I found funny were left out. I tried to enjoy it but left at intermission. I relate it to reading an awesome book and the movie blew it!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Really Fabulous Show
by Edistopatti on 12/26/15North Charleston Performing Arts Center - North CharlestonElf The Musical was a delightfully entertaining show. Very talented actors, wonderful music, and humor all rolled into one performance. What fun! There were some lines in the musical that definitely rivaled the movie (like when Buddy explained special hugs at the end of the play-too funny!). Santa Claus and his story telling were such a fun part of the whole show. I would love to see this musical again.

Rating: 2 out of 5 Great Cast and Venue with a terrible story line.
by Elfless on 12/25/15North Charleston Performing Arts Center - North CharlestonMy wife and I enjoyed our road trip to Charleston to see the Elf Musical. The cast was great! The music was spot on and the North Charleston Performing arts center is a great place to see a show. My problem was with the storyline and the use of adult words and themes for a kids show. I didn't expect the play to be just like the movie, but dramatic liberty was taken a little too far. I was left with the though that the movie was so much better than the play. Again, the cast was great and they made the story come to life.

Rating: 5 out of 5 So good!!
by Barbie8919 on 11/19/15Caesars Atlantic City - Atlantic CityI loved this it was funny heart wrenching and I liked how the story line was a little different then the movie. If you have kids they do curse twice as I remember and there is a few gay references.

Rating: 4 out of 5by ReviewerFromNJ on 11/17/15Caesars Atlantic City - Atlantic City A little slow at times, but it wasn't for me as much as it was for my wife. A typical "feel good" musical.
Rating: 5 out of 5by PaigeJ on 11/17/15Caesars Atlantic City - Atlantic City What an awesome show! Everyone should go see it if they can! I am still in awe about what a great time I had. Great show for all ages, young and old. Humorous, cute and just fun all around.

by Ciece on 11/16/15Caesars Atlantic City - Atlantic CityThe performers were great. The story line of the play vs the story line of the movie just does not compare.
