Merlin Theatre Productions presents
Elf – The Musical
Book by Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin
Music by Matthew Sklar
Lyrics by Chad Beguelin
Based upon the New line Cinema film written by David Berenbaum
Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised unaware that he is actually a human, until his 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 and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list, and his stepbrother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.
Based on the cherished 2003 New Line Cinema hit, this modern-day classic Christmas musical is sure to make everyone embrace their inner elf.
After all, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International.
