Get ready to be dazzled by the Young Performers Project's production of Elf The Musical Junior in association with the Durban ICC, proudly presenting the South African Premiere of this heartwarming holiday classic!

This hilarious fish-out-of-water story, based on the beloved 2003 film, tells the tale of Buddy, a young orphan who mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and finds himself at the North Pole.

Raised as an elf, Buddy's enormous size and poor toy-making abilities lead him to discover the truth: he's actually a human! With Santa's blessing, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his father and discover his true identity.

 

Featuring catchy songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin, vibrant choreography, and a delightful blend of humour and holiday spirit, Elf: The Musical JR is perfect for audiences of all ages.

Directed by Aaron McIlroy and Lisa Bobbert, with musical direction by Des and Anthony Govender, with choreography by Evashnee Pillay this spectacular production stars Nathan Kruger as Buddy, Iain Robinson as Walter Hobbs, Buddy's dad, Marion Loudon as his step mom and Unaye Mndau as Santa. The talented young cast features talented students from schools across KZN, including Kyran Taylor, Jenna Van Eyssen, Grace Mcilroy and Damien Butt from the International School of Performing Arts.

Don't miss this modern-day holiday classic! Tickets can be purchased through Webtickets. Elf: The Musical JR runs from December 16th to 29th at the Durban International Convention Centre.
