Glasgow is set to welcome a unique show this weekend, based on one of our favourite festive films.
Supersizing Elf into a live arena spectacular, the show includes film backdrops on a huge LED screen plus a mobile stage that travels into the audience. Also bringing in Santa’s flying sleigh, an audience snowball fight, indoor snowstorm, a giant candy cane journey, and aerial cirque stars - the show is sure to entertain.
The show will be coming to the Hydro on December 10 and 11, with matinees and evening performances.

The World’s Biggest Pantomime, the group behind the show, said: “The story of Elf is hilariously recreated by a large cast of performers into the biggest live Christmas show in the UK.
“The festive spectacular will feature West End star Steven Serlin stepping into the big floppy shoes of Will Ferrell to play Buddy the Elf. The cast also features Blackpool an Butlins resorts new comedy star Jordan Conway in a multitude of zany characters.
“TV’s Birds of a Feather comedy actor Charlie Quirke plays the cop. While Kelly Banlaki returns as the leading lady playing Buddy’s love interest, Jovie the Elf.”
Featuring an original score of songs, the production has already delighted audiences on Broadway and the West End.
Producer and Director Jon Conway said: “This is the fourth year we have presented this epic version of the Broadway and Hollywood hit as part of the World’s Biggest Pantomime brand.
“Elf is always one of the most popular Christmas films and Buddy the Elf is a truly iconic character. We are returning to some venues and have made the show even bigger and better with new features to make it a really thrilling experience.
“We are keenly aware of the economic climate and are one of the few shows to have reduced our prices from Elf’s last visit for an affordable family outing. One of the best sights is the audiences dressing up for the show, especially the dads in Elf Christmas sweaters.”
