Elf the Musical comes to The 5th! Buddy the Elf has spent his life fulfilling his elf-ly duties in the North Pole helping Santa get ready for Christmas. The only problem is, he’s always been a little different. After finding out he’s actually a human, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to discover his true identity — while also bringing a little Christmas spirit to everyone he meets. Based on the 2003 holiday film favorite starring Will Ferrell, this musical adaptation is a hilarious, fish-out-of-water comedy that’s full of heart, adventure, and holiday cheer.

Elf runs at the 5th Avenue Theatre through Dec. 28.
