As if the return of the smash hit Christmas musical Elf weren’t enough good news for the 2011 holiday season, an original cast recording is set for release digitally and in stores on November 1! The album features Broadway vets Sebastian Arcelus (Wicked, Rent, Jersey Boys) and Beth Leavel (The Drowsy Chaperone, Mamma Mia!, Baby It’s You!) as well as George Wendt of TV’s Cheers as Santa and a complete cast of outstanding performers. Grab the album to enjoy tracks like “Christmastown,” “Sparklejollytwinklejingley,” “Nobody Cares About Santa,” and “The Story of Buddy the Elf.” Buy the album to experience a taste of what this musical has to offer and you won’t be able to resist buying tickets this year!

As Elf the Musical kicks off its run on Broadway, all eyes are on the man who made it all possible. Elf tickets are selling like hot cakes and Bob Martin, the author of the book, says that writing and developing the tale of the overgrown elf that is really a boy has been great fun! Martin has already won a Tony Award for his brilliant The Drowsy Chaperone. Of Elf the Musical, he says, “I’m feeling very good. It’s been a really fun process with such a wonderful team. I know everybody always says that, but this time it’s really true.”

It looks like the writer with the magic touch really has fallen in love with his Christmas tale set in the North Pole and New York. Joining Martin on his Elfin quest is Casey Nicholaw, director-choreographer of The Drowsy Chaperone. Martin says he loves that Nicholaw treats him with such respect. “He even calls me in and allows me to give line readings to the cast if something isn’t going right and you know how rare that is!” Martin says with amazement.

Elf is slated to run on a 5-year cycle, with each annual run spanning roughly 9 weeks – the Christmas season. Martin’s Tony Award winning performance as Man in Chair in The Drowsy Chaperone didn’t exactly prepare the comedian for a role in Elf, though. There’s a lot of singing and dancing in Elf, and Martin says he is “too old” to manage it nowadays, but Sebastian Arcelus seems to be faring very well as Buddy, the protagonist, despite “losing weight rapidly”, according to Martin. Elf the Musical tickets are still selling at a rapid rate as the holidays approach and showing no sign of letting up. If you want tickets to Elf, you should check out the Elf the Musical schedule and buy Elf tickets soon. It’s a modern classic!

Elf the Musical is proving to be the sensation of the 2010 holiday season! There are so many reasons why Elf tickets are selling so fast that it’s making our heads spin! Let’s look once again at why Elf the Musical is this year’s blockbuster children’s Broadway show. Firstly, there is an element of adventure that is breathtaking in its scope. From New York City to the North Pole and back again, what a trip! Secondly, there’s the simple magic of Christmas; Santa Claus, Elves, snow and gifts, reindeer, chimney stacks, and Christmas trees! Added to this is the loveable hero, Buddy, the boy who is transported in Santa’s gift sack all the way to that distant workshop at the North Pole. Buddy is mistook for one of Santa’s elves but his large size and poor toy-making skills raise the red flag, and Santa realizes that Buddy is human! This prompts a new desire in Buddy, to return to New York and find his family! Elf the Musical tickets represent a welcome change from the same old, same old, when it comes to the holidays, and kids are really raring to see this beautiful tale. Spurred on by the hope of seeing his father and step-brother again, Buddy begins his quest to find them. When Buddy returns to New York he discovers a few unexpected truths; having spent a long time amongst Santa’s elves, in that fabled workshop, he expects their existence to be universally accepted. However, Buddy’s step-brother refuses to believe in Santa (or the elves) and what’s more he discovers that his father is on the Naughty List! Needless to say these humorous twists have pushed sales of Elf tickets through the roof and will continue to do so as the holidays progress. Just make sure you have yours soon, as they are selling out at an amazing rate.
