Elf The Musical Tickets

    Why Watch Elf the musical

    Apart from a few tweaks, Elf remains true to the popular storyline that we’ve watched in its namesake film. The brassy score features Christmas carol-themed songs that you can enjoy along with a brightly lit up festive backdrop. The stunning visuals bring Santa’s workshop and New York City skyline to life. Sit back and take in the spirit of Christmas as Elf treats you with a grand, 25 member dance number and a tinge of humor.

    The Story

    Elf is a hilarious tale of a young orphaned child named Buddy, who mistakenly climbs into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported straight to the North Pole. Taken in by an old elf who finds him, Buddy’s enormous size and poor toy-making ability eventually reveals his identity as a human. With Santa’s permission, Buddy then embarks on a journey to New York City to look for his birth father, discover his true identity and help New York City discover the true meaning of Christmas.This modern day classic is sure to bring a smile to your face.

    There couldn't have been a better way to spend our lazy holiday afternoon - what a powerpacked performance by the cast, and Erik was brilliant in his own way!

    Elf the Musical is fun if you don't compare the classic movie with the play... each is different in its own way. We personally enjoyed every minute of the uplifiting show.

    MSG looks great after renovation... we couldn't have asked for better seats! Go for Elf the musical during the holidays.
