Elf Goes to London! Stage Adaptation of Hit Film to Play Limited West End Christmas Engagement

Elf: The Musical is heading to London! The production will begin performances on October 24 at the West End's Dominion Theatre and play a limited ten-week engagement over the holiday season, ending on January 2, 2016. Opening night is set for November 5. Casting will be announced soon.

Based on the 2003 film of the same name, Elf is the story of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported back to the North Pole. Raised among Santa's elves, Buddy is unaware that he’s actually human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. To find his true identity, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City.

With music by Matthew Sklar, a book by Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin and lyrics by Chad Beguelin, this production will feature direction and choreography by Morgan Young, set design and costumes by Tim Goodchild and lighting design by Tim Lutkin. The 2010 and 2012 Broadway productions were directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw.
