Previews: ELF at The Forum Theatre

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! A New Holiday Tradition at the Forum Theatre! Everyone’s favorite elf is back at the Forum Theatre December 7-23, to spread Christmas cheer by singing loud for all to hear in Elf the Musical!

This holiday season at the Forum Theatre, join Buddy the Elf on a quest to discover his true identity and spread Christmas cheer. As a young orphan, he mistakenly crawled into Santa’s bag of gifts and was raised at the North Pole. When the would-be elf’s enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth, Buddy sets out to find his real family in New York City. Can Buddy win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas?

Based on the beloved 2003 New Line Cinema hit, ELF features songs by Tony Award® nominees Matthew Sklar (The Prom, The Wedding Singer) and Chad Beguelin (Aladdin, The Prom, The Wedding Singer), with a book by Tony Award® winners Thomas Meehan (Annie, Hairspray, The Producers) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone).

This modern-day holiday classic is the dose of Christmas nostalgia you’re searching for this season. It’s sure to make everyone embrace their inner elf! Book your tickets now for your new favorite holiday tradition!
