Jack Ducat and More to Star in ELF THE MUSICAL 2026 Tour

The complete cast has been revealed for the 2026 limited tour of ELF The Musical, following last year's tour and the limited holiday engagement at Broadway's Marquis Theatre in 2024. The tour will visit select cities this holiday season, including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and more. 

The tour will be led by Jack Ducat as Buddy, Felicia Martis as Jovie, Chase Wolfe as Walter Hobbs, Yara Martin as Emily Hobbs, Camden Everett Kwok and Zealand Rogers as Michael Hobbs / Little Boy, Andrew Hendrick as Santa Claus / Mr. Greenway, Callie Alexa as Deb, and Darius J.

ELF The Musical, inspired by the hit film, is the hilarious and heartwarming tale of Buddy, a young orphan child whose life changes forever when he mistakenly crawls into Santa's sack of toys one Christmas Eve. When he discovers he is human, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and, in turn, helps the Big Apple rediscover the true meaning of Christmas. 

Following two seasons in London's West End in 2022 and 2023, ELF The Musical returned to Broadway for the first time in over a decade in 2024, and spread holiday cheer to sold-out, record-breaking audiences once again. Over the course of ELF The Musical's 8-week run, the show delighted over 94,000 guests and broke two Marquis Theatre Box Office Records.

ELF The Musical features a book by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan ( Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob Martin ( The Drowsy Chaperone, Smash, Boop! The Musical), with songs by Tony nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin ( The Prom, The Wedding Singer).
