Elf The Musical is coming back to the West End

The musical will run at the Aldwych Theatre 10 weeks only from 28th October

Based on the beloved film, Elf is the funny and charming tale of Buddy, who mistakenly crawled into Santa’s bag as a baby and was raised as an elf!

Way too tall and not so great at his job, Buddy is the North Pole’s biggest misfit… and knows he’ll never belong. When Santa tells him the truth, Buddy heads to New York to find his birth father (who turns out to be quite high on the naughty list).

After causing some merry mayhem in Manhattan, Buddy finally discovers the gift of family and falls in love. And when Santa’s sleigh crashes in Central Park, it’s Buddy who finds a way to save Christmas forever!

The cast is led by Joel Montague as Buddy, Carrie Hope Fletcher as Jovie and Aled Jones as Walter Hobbs, joined by Rosanna Hyland  as Emily Hobbs, Martyn Ellis  as Santa/Mr Greenway, Lucinda Lawrence as Deb and Dermot Canavan as Store Manager with Mollie Cleere, Farirayi Garaba, Sophie Pourret, Lucy Rice, Biancha Szynal, Kyle Cox, Zack Guest, Ryan Jupp, Dominic Lamb Danny Nattrass, Sophie Camble, Amy Punter, Samuel John Humphreys and Michael Tyler as swings.

The role of Michael Hobbs will be played by Ayrton English, Max Garlick, Harry Georgiou and Samuel Sturge.

The show is directed by Philip Wm McKinley, choreography by Liam Steel, set and costume design by Tim Goodchild, lighting design by Patrick Woodroffe, sound design by Gareth Owen, and video design by Ian William Galloway. Casting will be by Grindrod Burton Casting.
