“THIS SHOW IS A REAL CRACKER!”
Son of a nutcracker, Elf The Musical is back on the West End! Perfect for families looking for things to do, Elf The Musical is a seasonal smash-hit now playing at the Aldwych Theatre.
Following a record-breaking season on Broadway last year, ‘the ultimate Christmas show’ (Smooth FM) is back to spread festive cheer at the Aldwych Theatre until 3 January 2026.
Based on the beloved film, Elf is the funny and charming tale of Buddy, who mistakenly crawled into Santa’s bag as a baby and was raised as an elf! Way too tall and not so great at his job, Buddy is the North Pole’s biggest misfit… and knows he’ll never belong. When Santa tells him the truth, Buddy heads to New York to find his birth father (who turns out to be quite high on the naughty list). After causing some merry mayhem in Manhattan, Buddy finally discovers the gift of family and falls in love. And when Santa’s sleigh crashes in Central Park, it’s Buddy who finds a way to save Christmas forever!
It’s ‘wow, wow, wow…absolutely brilliant!’ (Heart Radio).
