Christmas has come early!

Inspired by the beloved Christmas film starring Will Ferrell, Elf The Musical is the hilarious and heartwarming story of Buddy, a young orphan whose life is changed forever when he mistakenly crawls into Santa’s sack of toys one Christmas Eve. Raised as an elf at the North Pole, Buddy finally discovers he is human and sets off on a journey to New York City to find his birth father. Along the way he must, come to terms with a father on Santa's naughty list, win over a sceptical half-brother who doesn’t believe in Santa, and help restore the magic of Christmas.

A festive sensation around the world, Elf The Musical has captivated audiences of all ages.
