Elf: The Musical at Dominion Theatre at 2.30pm Saturday 7 January 2023

Managed to get reduced-price seats for the penultimate performance thanks to TKTS.

This is a stage musical of the classic Christmas movie about Buddy, a human, who accudebtialy ends up at the North Pole as a baby, is raised by elces and then discovers his true identity.

There were some changes to adapt it to the stage, the music was different, atess only appeared at the start (possibly to save the ensembles knees), but were very amusing, no papa elf, and a couple of small sense such as the snow ball fight and decorating the apartment, but it was an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours, and despite the young age of some audience members the audience was well behaved.

It spread Christmas Cheer in the best way – singing loud for all to hear and only a cotton headed ninnymuggins would find nothing to smile about.

8/10
