ELF THE MUSICAL On Sale Now at Possum Point Players

No supply chain problems with getting tickets for Possum Point Players holiday production of "Elf The Musical!"

Adapted after the popular 2003 "Elf" movie, "Elf The Musical" is directed by Kenney Workman of Milford. Georgetown resident Diane Trautman is music director and Bliss Soucek of Milford is choreographer.

"Elf the Musical" introduces Buddy, a young orphan who mistakenly crawled into Santa's bag of gifts and was transported to the North Pole one Christmas Eve. The foundling youngster is lovingly raised as an elf and no one is aware that he is actually a human until his unmistakable overgrown elf size and poor toy-making abilities give him away.

Santa Claus realizes Buddy needs to find his birth father and learn to live in a world of humans. He sends him off to New York City with a snow globe of the city to guide him. Much to his shock, Buddy finds that his own father and the entire city of New York is on Santa's naughty list. It seems nobody cares about Santa! However, Buddy's favorite thing is smiling, and he is happily determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

"Elf The Musical" is becoming a modern-day holiday classic and it's sure to make everyone embrace their inner 'elf.' The Possums' cast is dedicated to showing that the best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear!
