Christmas classic Elf set to return to Birmingham

Elf is heading to Birmingham this Christmas for a live arena spectacular.

The show with be at Resorts World Arena, Birmingham from December 22-23.

The show features Santa’s flying sleigh, audience snowball fight, indoor snowstorm, a giant candy cane journey from the North Pole, aerial cirque stars and giant tv screens so you don’t miss any of the spectacle.

The festive spectacular will feature West End star Steven Serlin stepping into the big floppy shoes of Will Ferrell to play Buddy the Elf.

Comedy star Jordan Conway also stars in a multitude of zany characters.

TV’s ‘Birds Of A Feather’ comedy actor Charlie Quirke plays the cop and Kelly Banlaki returns as the leading lady playing Buddy’s love interest, Jovie the elf.

The Christmas Spectacular production features a book written by Bob Martin and Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers and Hairspray) and an original score of great songs by Matt Sklar and Chad Beguelin that has delighted audiences on Broadway and the West End.

Producer and Director Jon Conway said: “This is the fourth year we have presented this epic version of the Broadway and Hollywood hit as part of the World’s Biggest Pantomime brand.

"Elf is always one of the most popular Christmas films and ‘Buddy The Elf’ a truly iconic character. We are returning to some venues and have made the show even bigger and better with new features to make it a really thrilling experience.

"We are keenly aware of the economic climate and are one of the few shows to have reduced our prices from Elf’s last visit for an affordable family outing! One of the best sights is the audiences dressing up for the show, especially the dads in elf Christmas sweaters! This is an unmissable Christmas treat.”

ELF The Musical  is the hilarious modern Christmas classic about Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported back to the North Pole.

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. This must-see Broadway holiday production is sure to make everyone embrace their inner  ELF.

Review: ELF THE MUSICAL National Tour, DPAC

Holiday fun for the whole family

Every so often, a modern Christmas film is released that is added to the canon of Christmas classics alongside movies like It's a Wonderful Life and White Christmas. Elf, which was released in 2003, has undoubtedly achieved that status with its endlessly quotable lines and endearingly funny performance by Will Ferrell as Buddy. Many of these beloved holiday films have been adapted for the stage, like White Christmas and A Christmas Story, so it's natural that Elf has received the same treatment.

Thomas Meehan and Bob Bartin adapted the film into a stage musical with Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin providing music and lyrics, respectively. And while ELF THE MUSICAL never reaches the heights of the team's THE PROM, it's a sweet and fun holiday show for the whole family. The whole musical is framed as Santa telling the audience a story from a picture book about Buddy the Elf, which adds an interesting element to the show when breaking the fourth wall.

Hijinks ensue with Buddy at Walter's office, where he is an executive working on children's books, and at the Macy's department store, where he meets the pessimistic anti-Christmas Jovie ( Tieisha Thomas ) and quickly falls in love. The creative set pieces, designed by Christine Peters , and the colorful costumes by Gregg Barnes help bring both the North Pole and New York City to life in engaging ways.

ELF THE MUSICAL isn't quite the Christmas classic that the film it's based on is, but it's still a great way to spend the evening with your family.

ELF THE MUSICAL is at DPAC through December 4. You can find more information and buy tickets here .

Great Shows. Good Times. Celebrating 15 Seasons

Elf the Musical

This event has passed, a modern day christmas classic.

ELF The Musical is 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. This modern day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner ELF.

The New York Times says that ELF is “SPLASHY, PEPPY, SUGAR-SPRINKLED HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT!” USA Today calls ELF, “ENDEARINGLY GOOFY!” Variety proclaims, “ ELF is happy enough for families, savvy enough for city kids and plenty smart for adults!”

Based on the beloved 2003 New Line Cinema hit, ELF features songs by Tony Award® nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin (The Wedding Singer), with a book by Tony Award® winners Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone).
