The seasonal musical, Elf, is set to return to the Dominion Theatre in 2023, with previews to begin on November 15th, an official opening night scheduled for November 23rd, and performances running to January 6th, 2024.
The family favourite is based on the popular 2003 movie of the same name starring Will Ferrell and follows the fortunes of Buddy, who crawls inside Santa's sack as a toddler and grows up in the company of elves at the North Pole. Buddy is raised by Father Christmas and therefore is unaware of how to interact normally with humans, but when he discovers where his real dad is, Buddy heads off to New York City for a memorable Christmas family reunion.
The delightful story of Elf was written by Bob Martin and Thomas Meehan, with music and lyrics provided by Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin. The musical is directed by Philip Wm. McKinley, with a wider creative team featuring choreography by Liam Steel, original set and costume design by Tim Goodchild, sound design by Gareth Owen, and lighting design by Patrick Woodroffe.
Casting for Elf is set to be revealed in due course at a later date. The 2022 production starred Simon Lipkin, Rebecca Lock, Georgina Castle, and Tom Chambers.
Elf will be at the Dominion Theatre.
Booking & Theatre Info For Elf
The Dominion Theatre is a large venue with a capacity of 2083 seats and has two levels of seating. Both the Stalls and Circle sections of the venue are divided into separate blocks, which allows for good legroom and there are excellent views of the stage throughout.
The best seats in the theatre are located in the centre section of seats in the Stalls and offer the most immersive experience within the venue where you will feel completely absorbed into the production and can engross yourself in the action! Alternatively, the front of the Circle offers a panoramic view of the stage which is ideal for those who prefer to look down onto the stage from an elevated position
Theatregoers looking for value or who are on a budget searching for lastminute deals or cheap tickets to Elf can find excellent value in the seats towards the rear section of the Stalls or at the ends of rows in the Stalls which still offer great views of the stage at a much cheaper or even discounted price. Seats in the Circle can also give both good value and an excellent elevated view of the stage as sightlines of the stage are clear with no restrictions.
