Elf: The Musical @ Phoenix Theatre
Dec 9 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Raised by Christmas elves, Buddy always felt a little…different. When Santa reveals to him that he’s actually a human being, Buddy goes on an adventure to the magical realm of New York City to find his father and learn what it means to be a human. This jolly musical is a must for any fan of Buddy the elf, Santa Claus, and all things Christmas!

Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s magical wintry fairy tale and set to Prokofiev’s lush score, Center Dance Ensemble brings the wicked “Snow Queen” to life!
