By: BWW News Desk Oct. 14, 2015
MSG Entertainment (MSGE) welcomed fans of the beloved holiday story, ELF THE MUSICAL, to discover their inner ELF with the biggest, stickiest and sweetest event in New York City earlier today, October 14. 15 pre-selected ELF fans joined Buddy the Elf, along with 95.5 PLJ on-air host John Foxx, at Madison Square Garden in Chase Square, to find Buddy's missing snow globe in a ten-foot bowl filled with 350 pounds of "spaghetti" and all five of the ELF main food groups -- cookies, candy, candy canes, candy corns and maple syrup. Scroll down for photos!
The first participant to find the snow globe inside the bowl of "spaghetti" -- Jeanette Perkins -- won a night out on the town in New York City including: Four premium tickets to the opening night performance of ELF THE MUSICAL at the Theater at MSG, a $200 gift card to Carmine's restaurant and a certificate for 15,000 Starpoints from Starwood Hotels.
Additionally, in celebration of Buddy's love for spaghetti, the production teamed up with famed New York Italian restaurant Carmine's. In conjunction with the Garden of Dreams Foundation, Carmine's will donate 1,000 pounds of boxed pasta to the NYC Department of Homeless Services. The boxed pasta from Carmine's, which also has locations in Las Vegas, Washington, DC, Atlantic City and the Atlantis will be delivered to the shelters on National Pasta Day, October 17.
ELF The Musical is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported back 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 their inner ELF. This limited holiday engagement begins Wednesday, December 9 and will run through Sunday, December 27, 2015 at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. Tickets are on sale now.
In preparation for ELF THE MUSICAL this winter at Madison Square Garden, the show held a Snow Globe Challenge in Chase Square.
