Elf the Musical at Walnut Street Theater

December 5, 2024

Walnut Street Theatre  continues their 216th Season with the charming story of Buddy the elf. Travel with Buddy from the North Pole all the way to New York City in ELF The Broadway Musical. The show begins previews on November 19, opens November 27, and runs through December 29.

Based on one of the most beloved holiday films and top streamed films of all time, ELF The Broadway Musical is the story of Buddy, who mistakenly crawled into Santa’s bag as a baby and was raised as an elf! Buddy is 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, he embarks on a journey to New York City with dreams to find his birth father and discover his true identity. What’s an adopted elf to do when he realizes his father is on Santa’s ‘naughty’ list and his half-brother doesn’t believe that there is a Santa Claus? It’s up to Buddy to save Christmas in this hilarious and charming Broadway musical!
