elfRaise your hand if your family ALWAYS watches the movie Elf around the holidays!

If so, you know it’s hilarious (the movie is rated PG, FYI). Well, good news, Elf lovers! The Broadway show Elf the Musical is coming to Walton Arts Center and it’s based on the beloved 2003 movie with Will Ferrell.

We’ve got four tickets to give away for opening night on Nov. 25th!

ABOUT THE SHOW: This delightful Broadway musical is for all ages. Elf the Musical is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole where he is welcomed into Santa’s household. Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy’s size and poor toy-making skills cause him to face the truth.

With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to find his birth father and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. Elf the Musical “is happy enough for families, savvy enough for city kids and plenty smart for adults!” says Variety magazine.

This modern-day Christmas classic will help you embrace your inner elf.

Winding the Jack in the Box where the “special elves” work, the journey to the big city (including the raccoon who “must need a hug”), “What’s a Christmasgram?! I want one!” “I”m heeeere…with my daaad…and we’ve never met…and he wants me to sing him a soong…” “I just like smiling, smiling’s my favorite!” All of the adventures in the city – the first ride on the escalator! “You don’t smell like Santa. You smell like beef and cheese. You sit on a throne of lies.”

    And on and on…I might drive my family a bit crazy with Elf quotes at Christmas time. One of my all time favorites!

    “Nooooooooooooooo!”

    I also love when he goes to see his dad and his dad thinks it’s a Christmas gram and asks if he’s going to sing. “I’m singing. And I’m with my dad and I’m singing. And I love you, I love you, I love you!”
