Enjoy a magical romp through a holiday classic on stage starring local talented kids! Based on the beloved film, Elf Jr. The Musical is a holiday classic sure to make spectators of every age embrace his or her "inner elf" with plenty of large ensemble numbers featuring elves and New Yorkers of every type. Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth.
Don't miss special pre-show activities for kids, milk & cookies and photo opportunities with Santa happening one hour prior to each show. Shows will be held Dec. 2-4 and 9-11. Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3:30 p.m. Check the STAGES Facebook page for updates on show availability (some shows have sold out) or call 314-821-2407.
