Elf the Musical 2021: Buddy the Elf arrives at the Grand Opera House in York this Christmas for some festive fun

The musical is based on the very popular 2003 Christmas movie, starring Will Ferrell and Zooey Deschanel, Elf, about orphaned elf, Buddy, who accidentally crawls into Santa’s sack of gifts and is taken to the North Pole.

Buddy, who is raised by elves, decides to find his biological (human) father, but it’s easier said than done when he tries to fit into life outside of the North Pole.

The musical will bring all characters of this movie to life.
