ELF 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 the true meaning of Christmas. This modern-day Christmas classic is sure to
make everyone embrace their inner ELF.
ELFopened on Broadway on November 14, 2010, at the Al Hirschfeld
Theatre, returning to Broadway in 2012. The First National Tour launched
in 2012 with tours running each holiday season through 2018. ELF
returns to touring in the 2022 holiday season following a three-year
