Elf The Musical

Aldwych Theatre, London, WC2B 4DF
  • Son of a nutcracker, Elf The Musical is heading back to the West End! Following a record-breaking season on Broadway last year,  ‘the ultimate Christmas show’ (Smooth FM) returns to spread festive cheer for 10 weeks only at Aldwych Theatre from 28 October 2025 to 3 January 2026.

    Christmas will come early to the Aldwych Theatre when Joel Montague, Carrie Hope Fletcher, Rosanna Hyland, Martyn Ellis and Aled Jones MBE star in the smash hit musical Elf as Buddy, Jovie, Emily Hobbs, Santa, and Walter Hobbs respectively.

    Based on the beloved film, Elf is the funny and charming tale of Buddy (played by Joel Montague), who mistakenly crawled into Santa’s bag as a baby and was raised as an elf! Way too tall and not so great at his job, Buddy is the North Pole’s biggest misfit… and knows he’ll never belong. When Santa (played by Martyn Ellis) tells him the truth, Buddy heads to New York to find his birth father (who turns out to be quite high on the naughty list). After causing some merry mayhem in Manhattan, Buddy finally discovers the gift of family and falls in love. And when Santa’s sleigh crashes in Central Park, it’s Buddy who finds a way to save Christmas forever!

    It’s ‘wow, wow, wow…absolutely brilliant!’ (Heart Radio) and ‘full to the brim with Christmas spirit’ (Classic FM), so if smiling’s your favourite, don’t miss this seasonal smash-hit at the Aldwych Theatre.
