Daily Inter-Lake | UPDATED 4 years, 1 month AGO
Whitefish Theatre Co. opens its winter production of "Elf the Musical" with a special preview night Dec. 1 at the O'Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish.
The Whitefish Theatre Company presents the modern holiday classic “Elf The Musical” as its winter show at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish.
Based on the beloved film, this magical, enchanting show opens with a sneak preview night Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Performances continue Dec. 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11 at 7:30 p.m., and December 5 and 12 at 4 p.m.
“Elf The Musical” is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported back to the North Pole. When he discovers that he is not really an elf — his enormous size and poor toy-making skills in Santa’s Workshop should have tipped him off — he sets off for New York City to find his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his real father is on the naughty list and his half brother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the magic of Christmas.
The New York Times calls the production “splashy, peppy, sugar-sprinkled, holiday entertainment!”
