Everyone's favourite not-so-little helper is coming to town —

Meet Buddy, a young orphan who ends up at the North Pole after crawling into Santa's gift sack. Raised as an elf, he remains unaware that he is actually a human. Given his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities he must face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy heads to bustling New York City to track down his birth father. He must grapple with having a father on Santa’s naughty list and win over a sceptical younger half-brother who no longer believes in Santa.

Based on the beloved Christmas classic film starring Will Ferrell, Elf: The Musical features songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin (Disney's Aladdin on Broadway, The Wedding Singer). The story comes to life with a book by Tony Award-winners Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone).
