Elf - a show billed as a festive spectacular - is set to be a star attraction in Newcastle in December following news it is booked in for a two-day run over the Christmas season.
The city's Utilita Arena said it is "overjoyed" to announce that it will be hosting ELF The Musical for three performances in two days, which will include a morning showing on New Year's Eve. The show, based on the much-loved Hollywood movie starring Will Farrell which is said to be one of the most popular Christmas films of all time, is set to be stunner, featuring film backdrops, a moving stage and special effects with snowstorms and candy canes.
Tickets for the three-performance run, over December 30-31, will go on sale this Friday. And it promises to be a treat, with a large cast of performers and West End star Steven Serlin in the lead role of Buddy the Elf - the part played in the film by Ferrell - who, having been raised by Santa's elves, learns he is human and goes off to New York City to seek out his biological father.
