Based on everybody's favourite 2003 Christmas film, Elf the Musical is the hilarious tale of Buddy the Elf, immortalised by Will Ferrell, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported back 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 birth father, discover his true identity, and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.
This modern day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone forget the lockdown ever existed and celebrate Christmas by embracing their inner Elf.
