CAMBRIDGE – Everyone’s favorite elf will be coming to Cambridge as the hit holiday classic, ELF: The Musical hits the stage at the Hamilton Family Theatre Cambridge from Nov. 20 to Dec. 22 next year.
“Elf is a festive family production that is likely to turn even the grumpiest of grinches into a happy-go-lucky bearer of Christmas cheer,” said Drayton Entertainment artistic director Mustakas.
“The movie has fast become a modern holiday classic and we know families are going to love seeing the story of Buddy the misfit elf live on stage next Christmas.”
Based on the beloved 2003 movie starring Will Ferrell, ELF: The Musical is a hilarious fish-out-of-water musical comedy about Buddy, whose enormous size and poor toy-making abilities make him wonder if he is actually an elf.
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 realities that his dear old dad is on the naughty list, and his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help the Big Apple remember the true meaning of Christmas.
Written by David Berebaum and directed by Jon Favreau, the popular New Line Cinema film grossed over $220 million worldwide and is considered to be one of the greatest holiday movies ever made.
The musical adaptation premiered on Broadway during the 2010 Christmas season, and features songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin, with a book by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin.
