Based on the beloved holiday film, this hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy follows Buddy the Elf in his quest to find his true identity. After being raised as an elf at the North Pole, Buddy Hobbs discovers, as a young man, that he is actually human. With Santa’s encouragement, Buddy embarks on an eventful journey through New York City in search of his biological family. 

Palm Canyon Theatre’s production of this seasonal musical features 30 talented local performers ranging in age from 2 to 62+, including Scott Clinkscales as Buddy, David Brooks as Santa, Jessica Lenz as Jovie, Eric Stein-Steele as Walter Hobbs, Tim Steele as Mr. Greenway, and many others. The joyful songs and colorful sets are sure to ring in the holiday season and bring out everyone’s inner elf. 

Elf is directed and costumed by Derik Shopinski with choreography by Alison Logan, and music direction by Jaci Davis. Set design is by Toby Griffin, with lighting design by JW Layne, and projections by Nick Edwards. The book is adapted by Bob Martin and Thomas Meehan from the 2003 film, with a score by Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin. The musical ran on Broadway in the Christmas seasons of 2010-2011 and 2012-2013.
