Elf the Musical Tickets

The moment you met the pacing compare, who was like a bad kids TV presenter, you doubted the future quality of what you were about to endure. Nothing could have prepared you. The OVO is a large venue, you anticipate a spectacular show, with Santa gliding through the air, the snowball fight to be hilarious with the whole audience involved, also the advertising alludes to this level of entertainment. And it is a spectacle, but not in ways you were anticipating. There was inappropriate upskirting humor, mortification of audience members, balancing pens on a bald head, a dreadful script and a random ariel acrobat which made no sense. The snowball fight, which consisted of about 10 white footballs being dispersed amongst the entire audience. They had seemingly been robbed and were left with very limited stage props, more suited in scale to a school production than an arena. At the interval, our party of 10 all looked at each other, grabbed our coats in synchronization and ran for the exits. Don't go, and I would seriously not book future productions by this mob.

The OVO hydro is a massive venue to fill and this show didn't quite manage it perhaps in a smaller venue it would have felt magical but there wasn't enough staging/screens too small. However, the biggest problem is they have a lead actor who cannot hit a single note in the score which ruined it for me- nails down the blackboard style. I am a regular patron of broadway level musicals - this wasn't one- It had the feel of a provincial theatre touring show…. At arena tour prices - with the result of feeling ripped off. That said my kids got into the spirit and were gracious enough to say they enjoyed it. Was concerned by a skating scene late in the first act where the male skater put leather strapping around his neck and tightened to support the female swinging off him- impressive skill maybe but misjudged in an arena full of young children who may go home and copy????

Lovely show, Watched with my teenage son, who also enjoyed it. Great story and singing.
