Do you want to feel good, jingle bell ringing, dancing in the streets and some singing...?
WEll then you need a holiday musical...
Elf is it especially if you are feeling grinchy this holiday season. And NO, it is not a remake of the Movie Elf with Will Ferrell, or so I was told. And I cant say if that is good or bad, because …… I never saw Elf the movie.... I know shocking right?
Maybe you don't believe in fairytales or Santa, who by the way is quite humorous and clever and hip to new technology. He no longer uses Reindeer to power his sled!!!
Who knew.... This new age stuff is throwing me off. The writers Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin were quite creative...they decided why not power the sled with feelings and with the belief in the Holiday and Santa?
Well there should be more than enough of that good stuff right? How fitting the setting is in NYC.. the imagery of a bustling, non caring, sharp tongue, impatient place like NY definitely would need some help conjuring up that holiday spirit... and Buddy would soon find out.
Buddy, The Elf,. played by Eric Williams has a life story all his own. It's clear, he is not one of Santa's elves, but he lives on the North Pole with Santa, Ms. Claus and the other elves..
So where was he from and how did he end up in the North Pole?
An inquisitive guy he is as well..... rather clumsy too.. So when he hears other elves talking about him and saying he didn't belong it was no surprise he wanted to find his own way...
Where will his journey take him?
Get ready for some interesting yet typical family, societal and work dynamics...with a TWIST!!.
Life lessons are learned, hearts and minds are changed and you will be singing and bopping your head to this one.
Kudos to all the performers and extra kudos to Michael Hobbs played by Grady Miranda.. He has an amazing voice for a young kid.
If you are a fan of musicals and want to lift your spirits I say check out Elf the musical...
I give it a Ali-PEACHY
