Elf the Musical is a Hit

By: Jonathan Jones 11/04/2015

“We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.” If you remember the quote, “I’m sorry I ruined your lives and crammed eleven cookies into the VCR,” you’re in luck. If you have a sweet type of appetite, the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire has what you need.

But before, if you don’t know the quote, it is Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf in the renowned holiday film Elf (that was probably a redundant explanation).

If you have or haven’t seen the fun-loving flick, it is now showing at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire on stage.

Here’s a little synopsis for you folks that were sleeping under a rock when this came out to movie theaters (Plus they play it nonstop on TBS during Christmas): Buddy is a mammoth human towering over the rest of Santa’s elves. He doesn’t know that he’s not really an elf, until his elf father who raises him informs him who his real parents are. Buddy was an orphan that was raised in the North Pole.

Buddy sets to meet his father (because his mother passed away) who lives in New York City to learn about his true identity.

This heartwarming and hilarious musical is breaking box office records around the country, and is here just in time for the holiday.

Alex Goodrich and Dara Cameron, the actors who play Buddy and love interest Jovie respectively, performed live on Fox 32 Chicago.

Elf, the Broadway Musical runs from now until December 31. Continue here for a full schedule of Marriott Theatre shows that was recently released.
