Elf! The Musical
Spread Christmas cheer with Elf musical tickets!
Don’t be a cotton-headed ninny muggins this Christmas – book your tickets for the heartwarming Elf musical at London’s Aldwych Theatre for some sweet-as-candy-cane family entertainment! Based on the beloved Will Ferrell film, this enchanting seasonal show returns to the West End to spread festive joy, belly laughs and plenty of sparkle.
Meet Buddy, the human who accidentally crawled into Santa’s toy sack as a baby and was raised by the North Pole elves. What he lacks in toy-making skill (those long limbs aren’t ideal for the workshop!) he makes up for with boundless enthusiasm. When Buddy learns he’s not actually an elf, he sets off for New York City to find his birth father – and more importantly, to spread Christmas cheer for all to hear. Along the way, he brings snowstorms of mischief, heartwarming fun, and a message of hope and belonging that will melt even the grumpiest miser’s heart.
Winner of hearts across Broadway and hailed as “the ultimate Christmas show” (Smooth FM), the Elf musical features a joyful book by Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin, a rollicking score by Matthew Sklar, and witty lyrics by Chad Beguelin. The 2025 London cast shines brighter than the star on top of the tree, with Joel Montague (Hamilton) starring as Buddy, Carrie Hope Fletcher (Heathers, Calamity Jane) as Jovie, and Aled Jones MBE as Walter Hobbs.
Expect dazzling sets, high-energy choreography and cracking Christmas spirit from start to finish. With original direction by Philip Wm. McKinley, choreography by Liam Steel, set and costume design by Tim Goodchild, lighting by Patrick Woodroffe, and sound by Gareth Owen, this production pulls off theatrical magic by the sleigh-full.
Critics have called the show “pure Christmas joy” (Evening Standard), “a glittering, feel-good extravaganza” (The Stage), and “packed with more festive fun than Santa’s workshop” (The Guardian). Whether you’re young or simply young at heart, Elf: The Musical at the Aldwych Theatre is a joyful, sparkly night out that promises laughter, music, and holiday magic. Tickets for this strictly limited run are already flying, so book early and get ready for a show that’s unforgettable, unashamedly festive, and utterly full of cheer!
