CHESTER SPRINGS, PA — Get ready for some sparkle jolly twinkle jingley fun! Based on the beloved holiday film, this hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy follows Buddy the Elf in his quest to find his true identity.
Kick off your holiday season by seeing ELF the Musical, 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.
“Elf is as heartwarming as it is hilarious — a must-see holiday outing for the entire family,” expresses Lauren McComas, President and Artistic Director of SALT Performing Arts. “Our Buddy gives Will Ferrell a run for his money and is truly ‘giving the world a holiday that’s bright as can be!’ Come see Elf and you, too, can spread some holiday cheer by singing loud for all to hear! For a sparkly seasonal treat, we’re celebrating opening night with Blacktie dress and champagne for the audience!” Free photo opportunities with Santa and Buddy the Elf after each performance!
