Elf - The Musical “A splashy, peppy, sugar-sprinkled holiday entertainment!” – The New York Times

One of the most beloved Hollywood holiday films of the past decade makes its musical Canadian premiere at Halifax’s Neptune Theatre! Filled with holiday cheer, Elf is the enchanting modern fairytale of Buddy, a young orphan who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. Buddy 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 family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. Tickets are selling quickly; book now … don’t be a cotton-headed-ninny-muggins!
