Get in the holiday spirit (already!) with a family classic play starring your favorite Colorado actors at Arvada Center.

ARVADA, CO – Arvada Center brings Broadway hit ELF: The Musical to the stage for an eight-week run through the holidays starting Nov. 20.

Gavin Mayer directs the tale of Buddy, the lost human child who ends up at the North Pole, raised by Santa's elves and always too big and clumsy to really fit in. Choreography is by Kitty Skillman Hilsabeck. Rod A. Lansberry produces the show.

"With Santa’s blessing, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. By spreading his unfailing holiday cheer, Buddy helps bring people together, and finds the human family he never knew he had," the promotional material says.
