ELF the Musical Tickets and Hotel

The Show
Elf - The Musical is the hilarious tale of Buddy the Elf, as we see him making the biggest journey of his life - and helping people to re-discover their Christmas Spirit along the way.

Based on the much loved 2003 film, we meet Buddy, a small orphaned boy, who mistakenly climbs into Santa's gift bag and finds himself in the North Pole. Unaware that he is human, Buddy grows up amongst Santa's elves, but is forced to face the truth when his enormous size and terrible toy making abilities can be ignored no longer. So, with Santa's blessing of course, he sets off to find his father, discover his real past and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

When Buddy finds his birth-father Walter Hobbs however, he must face the terrible realisation that not only does Walter not believe in the spirit of Christmas, but that his own father is on The Naughty List. Perhaps even worse than this, Buddy's half-brother Michael doesn't believe in Santa at all! When Santa's sleigh is powered by the people's belief in Christmas, anyone losing faith is a real problem - can this very special Christmas Elf and his new friend Jovie save the festive season before it's too late? Watch as Buddy uses his infectious enthusiasm to help Michael, his father and the rest of New York city rediscover their belief and enjoy the magic of Christmas.
