Elf: The Musical

📍 Sydney Opera House - Concert Hall

📅 Dec 19-29

Elf: The Musical will make its Australian premiere in a presentation designed for the Concert Hall this December. Presented with John Frost for Crossroads Live, this heartwarming musical adaption of the beloved film follows Buddy on a quest to find his true identity. Despite being raised as an elf in the North Pole, Buddy learns that he is actually human, which explains his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities. Hilarious misadventures ensue as his search for his birth family leads him to the bright lights of New York City, where he’s faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn't even believe in Santa.
