Austin Native Marie Lemon Featured in ELF: THE MUSICAL, Running 11/28-30 at the Long Center

Everything's bigger in Texas- including our talent! Austin welcomes back local actress Marie Lemon when ELF: THE MUSICAL hits the Long Center November 28-30. Tickets are on sale now and start at just $29.

Lemon is no stranger to the Austin stage. After performing in TexArts, Zach Theatre, and SummerStock Austin productions, she starred off-Broadway in New York. Now, this Milliken University graduate and musical-theatre triple threat joins the cast of ELF for its second national tour. Back in Austin for a 3 day run, Lemon will be welcomed home in the best way imaginable-by a full house at Dell Hall.

Adapted from the 2003 holiday classic, ELF tells the hilarious story of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag and is transported back to the North Pole. Years later, this human-sized elf travels to New York City to finally meet his dad and help the Big Apple discover the true meaning of Christmas.

Welcome Lemon and the entire ELF cast to Austin with the perfect holiday outing for the entire family. After all, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!
