"Elf The Musical" Coming to CDC Theatre for December

Elf, The Musical is Coming to CDC Theatre December 9th-18th

Elf, The Musical will bring the heart, hilarity and joy of the Christmas season to CDC Theatre, 78 Winans Ave in Cranford from December 9th through the 18th. Based on the popular 2003 film, Elf The Musical is a hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy that follows Buddy the Elf on his quest to find his true identity. Years ago, Buddy mistakenly crawled into Santa’s bag of gifts and ended up being raised as an elf at the North Pole. Eventually, his poor toy-making abilities and enormous size cause him to realize that he is not really an elf. With Santa’s blessing, Buddy embarks on a journey to find his human family. Shocked to learn that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn’t believe in Santa Claus, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help all of New York City remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Elf features songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Sklar (The Wedding Singer) and Chad Beguelin (Disney's Aladdin on Broadway), with a book by Tony Award winners, Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone).

Directed and Choreographed by the Perry Award winning team of Ken and Mary Webb, the large cast is led by Sean Lynch-LittleJohn as Buddy, with Betty Mack as Jovie and Buddy’s newfound family, Walter, Emily and Michael Hobbs, played by Larry Brustofski, Lisa Benke and Loren Turner.

Performances are set for Fridays and Saturdays, December 9-17 at 8pm, Saturdays, December 10 and 17 at 1pm and Sundays, December 11 and 18 at 2pm. For best ticket prices, selection and additional information, visit cdctheatre.org

This modern-day holiday classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner elf. After all, the best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear!
