My mom and I went to see Elf on Broadway on Friday, and it was fantastic! I really wasn’t sure how I’d feel about a musical version of the movie, and without Will Ferrell no less. But it was so much fun, we both left feeling the holiday spirit. The songs are not the most original or catchy show tunes ever (I couldn’t remember one note to sing to you), but the energy of the cast (especially Sebastian Arcelus as Buddy) was so through the roof that it made the show special. The dancing was fun, the cast was clearly having a blast, and it all helped put the show over the top even without a legendary score.
