Photo Coverage: The Cast of ELF THE MUSICAL Takes Opening Night Bows
The John W. Engeman Theater presents ELF. Performances began on Thursday, November 15 and run through Sunday, December 30, 2018.
Check out photos of the cast taking their bows below!Based on the beloved film, ELF THE MUSICAL tells the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy's enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father, discover his true identity, and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. This modern day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner Elf.
