Beck Center for the Arts Announces Elf The Musical, holiday fun for the whole family Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org/> is excited to announce Elf The Musical<https://www.beckcenter.org/shows/elf>, a soon to be holiday classic for the stage. This Thursday, Dec 2 is a special PREVIEW performance-tickets are just $10 at https://bit.ly/3rkX4T6! Elf The Musical, book was adapted by Bob Martin and Thomas Meehan with lyrics by Chad Beguelin and music by Matthew Sklar. Based on the New Line Cinema film by David Berenbaum, this stage production is directed by Scott Spence, with musical direction by Larry Goodpaster, and choreography by Martín Céspedes. The show runs December 3, 2021 - January 2, 2022, in the Senney Theater in Lakewood, Ohio. Additional performances added on Wednesdays Dec. 22nd/29th, Thursdays, Dec. 16th/23rd/Dec 30th, and double performances, (matinee and evenings, 2:30PM/7:30PM) on December 11th and December 18th, 2021. Based on the beloved holiday film, this hilarious big-elf-living-in-a-small world comedy follows Buddy the Elf in his quest to find his true identity in a holiday bedazzled New York City. Featuring songs written by the creator of Disney's Aladdin on Broadway and a book by the writer of Annie, The Producers, and Hairspray this feels and sounds like a sweet holiday treat for all ages. (Maple syrup not included.) Beck Center is thrilled to welcome a huge cast of local talent, including Actor Equity Association members Tim Allen (last seen in Beck Center's Matilda the Musical) as Buddy the Elf, and Gregory Violand (from the Beck Center production of The Scottsboro Boys) as Walter. Director Scott Spence, now in his 31st season says, "It's always a special moment when a very popular movie makes its transition to live theatre in a triumphant way. Elf, The Musical does just that as it captures the whimsy, magic and heart of the Will Ferrell modern day classic, all the while adding the festive vocals and dance you'd expect in a holiday musical. With a cast of 30, Beck Center is thrilled to do our part to eclipse the darkness that surrounds us by delivering Buddy the Elf's special brand of human spirit rekindling. It really IS perfect for the entire family."
