Review: TASTING NOTES at the Southwark Playhouse

Elf The Musical - New cast members announced

If you loved the movie, you’ll adore the musical. ELF is the hilariously charming story of Buddy, who accidentally crawls into Santa's gift bag as a baby. He’s taken to the North Pole and raised as an elf, with no idea he’s human.
