Elf The Musical follows Buddy, a human raised by elves at the North Pole who discovers he was accidentally transported there as a baby. Realising he does not truly belong among the elves, Buddy travels to New York City to find his biological father and learn more about the human world. Along the way, his cheerful outlook and festive spirit help bring joy to those around him while reminding everyone of the importance of family, kindness, and believing in Christmas.
Elf – The Musical was a great production and a really wonderful night-out. The performances, the music and the staging all worked really well and the cast and crew are to be warmly congratulated on their achievements.— Matthew Heaton (NODA South-west Regional Editor) Read the full NODA report →
