Elf The Musical spreads festive cheer at Derbyshire venue just a few days before Christmas
Elf The Musical, a heartwarming stage adaptation of the much loved film, will bring festive cheer to families in Derbyshire.
The production will tour to Vaillant Live, Derby on December 16 and 17, promising to fill young and old with Christmas spirit. The story follows Buddy, a human raised as an elf at the North Pole, as he embarks on a journey to New York City to discover his true identity.
Packed with catchy songs, dazzling choreography and laugh-out-loud comedy, Elf The Musical features an audience snowball fight, a giant candy cane journey from the North Pole, Santa Claus soaring high above the stage in his magical sleigh, spectacular video backdrops on a gigantic digital screen, colourful costumes and energetic performances.
Producer and director Jon Conway said: “This is the fifth year we have presented this epic version of the Broadway and Hollywood hit as part of the World’s Biggest Productions brand. Elf is always one of the most popular Christmas films and Buddy The Elf a truly iconic character. We have made the show even bigger and better with new features to make it a really thrilling experience.”
Multi-talented international performer Dafydd Lansley will be filling the big red floppy shoes of Buddy the Elf, originally played by Will Ferrell in the movie. The production also sees the return of the hilarious Barry Bloxham, back as Buddy’s long-suffering dad.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of the movie or experiencing Buddy’s adventure for the first time, this uplifting tale of love, family, and festive fun is a must-see. As Buddy might say, “You’d have to be cotton-headed ninny muggins,” to miss this feel-good festive extravaganza.
The show starts at 6pm on December 16 and 17. Tickets cost £34,50, available from https://vaillantlive.co.uk/elf-the-musical
