"Elf The Musical": Sensory-Inclusive Performance

This all-new tour, based on the acclaimed 2024 Broadway production, was hailed by The New York Times (“The show has cracked the code of all-ages comedy, the kind that will leave children and grown-ups equally helpless with laughter”) and celebrated in The New Yorker (“It’s enough to make you believe in the magic of Christmas”). This modern-day holiday classic, says The Daily Beast, “is a gift for kids and adults and a very ‘sparklejollytwinklejingley’ night out!”
Inspired by the hit film, it’s the hilarious and heartwarming tale of Buddy, a young orphan child whose life changes forever when he mistakenly crawls into Santa’s sack of toys one Christmas Eve. When he discovers he’s human, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and, in turn, helps the Big Apple rediscover the true meaning of Christmas.
