Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor and director David Hyde Pierce has joined the cast of Better Late, written by Larry Gelbart and directed by Susan Stroman at The Plaza Theatre.

The Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs launches rePLAY, a new script-in-hand performance series benefiting the historic venue. The series opens with The Importance of Being Earnest (in New York), adapted and directed by David Zippel and featuring a Tony Award–winning cast.

Performances are now underway for the brand-new tour of Elf The Musical, following the limited holiday Broadway engagement at The Marquis Theatre last year. The tour will come to 10 cities this holiday season, including Chicago, Atlanta, and San Antonio. 

Thanks to Buddy the Elf, ELF THE MUSICAL has plenty of holiday cheer. Jack Ducat has large shoes to fill as the beloved film character Buddy, a now adult man raised on the North Pole by Santa (Andrew Hendrick) and his elves— who must then venture into the wilds of New York City to meet his human father. Will Ferrell’s performance in the original 2003 film is embedded in the holiday movie zeitgeist — so it’s a big ask.

ELF THE MUSICAL will be sprinkling jolly joy as it begins tomorrow at The Auditorium (50 E. Ida B. Wells Drive) for a limited engagement through December 14 only.

All new photos have been released from the gala night for ELF the Musical on 6 November. In attendance were Dani Dyer, Faye Tozer, Juliet Mayhew, Rob Madge, Vanessa Feltz and Ranj Singh amongst others. Check out the photos here!

As a regular theatergoer who has seen Jon Robin Baitz's Other Desert Cities before--twice in the Palm Springs area--I wasn't expecting to be surprised. Well, I was. It became more than a play; it was an experience. At rise, I found myself embraced by a set that invited me into the living room of an upscale Palm Spring home. From that moment on, I was captured by sensitive acting and masterful direction in this stunning production at Coachella Valley Repertory Theatre.

Get in the holiday spirit with a performance from Elf the Musical! Grey Henson, Ashley Brown, Kayla Davion, and Kai Edgar joined The View on Thursday to perform a medley from the show, which is now running on Broadway.

The cast of Broadway's Elf will appear on The View tomorrow, December 5 to perform from the holiday musical, currently playing a limited engagement at the Marquis Theatre.
