Elf: The Musical at the Sydney Opera House


  • Sydney Opera House (map)

Everyone's favourite not-so-little helper is coming to town

Meet Buddy, a young orphan who ends up at the North Pole after crawling into Santa's gift sack. Raised as an elf, he remains unaware that he is actually a human. Given his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities he must face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy heads to bustling New York City to track down his birth father. He must grapple with having a father on Santa’s naughty list and win over a sceptical younger half-brother who no longer believes in Santa.

Based on the beloved Christmas classic film starring Will Ferrell, Elf: The Musical features songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin (Disney's Aladdin on Broadway, The Wedding Singer). The story comes to life with a book by Tony Award-winners Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone).

This brand-new concert production will bring the holiday magic to the Concert Hall in its Australian premiere. Expect a Christmas extravaganza with a dazzling cast of 16 performers and an on-stage band of 15. 

Escape to the North Pole and New York City with your loved ones this December for a show that’s bursting with joy and holiday magic. Don’t miss out on the fun—Elf: the Musical is the ultimate holiday event for friends and family this Christmas at Sydney Opera House.
