A modern day holiday classic based on the beloved film, Elf The Musical is sure to make everyone embrace their inner elf. Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. Unaware that he is actually 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 father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. The score is jam-packed with rousing anthems of holiday cheer, including “Christmastown,” “Sparklejollytwinklejingley,” and “There is a Santa Claus.” After all, the best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear. Presented at the Merryman Performing Arts Center with a limited number of performances, be sure to add this show to your Christmas Wish List early.
