Elf the Musical is the stage adaptation of the timeless 2003 motion picture, Elf, with a score by Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin, and book adapted by Bob Martin and Thomas Meehan. Debuting on Broadway in 2010, the musical has been a fixture of Christmas scheduling ever since, having been revived twice on Broadway, and with a fourth run in the West End set for Christmas 2025. It has also toured extensively throughout the past 15 years in the English-speaking world. In 2014, the play was adapted into a stop motion animation for NBC, starring Jim Parsons as Buddy.
Based on the beloved film, Elf the Musical is the funny and charming tale of Buddy, who mistakenly crawled into Santa’s bag as a baby and was raised as an elf! Way too tall and not so great at his job, Buddy is the North Pole’s biggest misfit… and knows he’ll never belong. When Santa tells him the truth, Buddy heads to New York to find his birth father (who turns out to be quite high on the naughty list). After causing some merry mayhem in Manhattan, Buddy finally discovers the gift of family and falls in love. And when Santa’s sleigh crashes in Central Park, it’s Buddy who finds a way to save Christmas forever!
