ELF: THE MUSICAL To Premiere at South Bend Civic Theatre
By: Chloe Rabinowitz Nov. 05, 2019
This family musical brings the 2003 movie to a new level with cheerful, Christmas-infused songs. Buddy always believed he was like every other elf in Santa's workshop, despite his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities. When Buddy discovers he is actually a human, he decides to make a change. As he travels to New York City in search of his long-lost dad and his true identity, Buddy will discover many new things and save Christmas in the process. MUSIC BY Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin. Book Adapted BY BOB MARLIN AND THOMAS MERLIN.
