You've seen it on the big screen, now join Buddy in Elf The Musical!
Elf The Musical tells the hilarious tale of Buddy, who, as a baby, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and grows up in the North Pole. Raised as an elf and never quite fitting in, when Santa tells him the truth of his birth father, Buddy sets out to New York for a family reunion to remember.
Buddy the Elf, the eccentric human raised by Santa's elves, will be performed by Essex’s own Jake Quickenden. The actor, singer and X-Factor contestant is best known for winning the 2018 ‘Dancing on Ice’ and becoming runner-up in the 2014 ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here’.
David Marsh, Events Manager at Colchester Events said: “What a belter of a show we have lined-up! Jake and Jade’s impressive performances have already wowed the likes of Simon Cowell, Kylie Minogue and Tom Jones, so we’re sure audiences from across the region are going to be bowled over by the singing, dancing and acting of all three performers in this fabulous, festive production that’s not to be missed!”
Elf The Musical is based on the book by Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin; with music by Matthew Sklar and song lyrics by Chad Beguelin. The show is based on the New Line Cinema film written by David Berenbaum which starred Will Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel and James Caan as Elf, Jovie and Walter.
Elf The Musical takes place at Charter Hall, Cowdray Avenue, Colchester CO1 1YH from Saturday 14th December 2024 with matinees and evening performances.
