Performances are now underway for the brand-new tour of Elf The Musical, following the limited holiday Broadway engagement at The Marquis Theatre last year. The tour is coming to 10 cities this holiday season, including Chicago, Atlanta, and San Antonio. 

The tour is led by Jack Ducat as Buddy, Felicia Martis as Jovie, Jeff Brooks as Walter Hobbs, Yara Martin as Emily Hobbs, Ryan Duck and Camden Kwok as Michael Hobbs / Little Boy, Andrew Hendrick as Santa Claus / Mr. Greenway, Katelyn Lauria as Deb, Darius J. Manuel as Macy’s Manager/Hot Dog Vendor. They will be joined by Connor Barton, Calista Case, Derick Donato, Adam Furgal, Kabir Gandhi, Tanner Gleeson, Patrick Johnson, Vanessa Mitchell, Clark Anton Rulon, Emma Sucato, Mikayla Thrasher, Alysia Vastardis, Annie Wogisch, and Keila Sue Wong.

Elf The Musical, inspired by the hit film, is the tale of Buddy, a young orphan child whose life changes forever when he mistakenly crawls into Santa’s sack of toys one Christmas Eve. When he discovers he is human, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and, in turn, helps the Big Apple rediscover the true meaning of Christmas.

Brandy McDonnell, The Oklahoman: “…you’d have to be a cotton-headed ninny-muggins — or at least a real Scrooge — not to at least smile at the seasonal antics of “Elf the Musical.

“Emily McClanathan, Chicago Tribune: Ducat makes an endearing Buddy, with childlike enthusiasm that comes off as more believable than Ferrell’s performance, thanks in part to his youthful look and mannerisms. Buddy’s complete oblivion to innuendo adds a note of adult humor to this overall family-

Rachel Weinberg, BroadwayWorld: Ducat’s boundless energy makes ELF extra cheery in this national tour.
