Based on the beloved 2003 film starring Will Ferrell, the musical Elf will return to the West End this Christmas.

Returning to Dominion Theatre, for an eight-week festive run from November 15, Elf is a charming Christmas tale that is as funny as the original film.

It tells the story of Buddy, who accidentally crawls into Santa's sack as a baby and is raised as a really big elf in the North Pole.
