A limited engagement of Elf The Musical is headed to Broadway this holiday season! Starring Grey Henson in the title role, the musical will open this November at the Marquis Theatre. Following two hugely successful, record-breaking seasons in London’s West End in 2022 and 2023, this production of Elf The Musical will be new to Broadway and will mark the musical’s return for the first time in over a decade.

Well, there’s one Broadway performance already booked for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Big Broadway season for Bob Martin, who’ll have this, Smash, and Betty Boop.

It's a bit odd for the tour to be playing in Red Bank, NJ the week of Nov. 19. Not sure if the tour is equity or non-equity. Tour tickets are usually much cheaper.

It's non-Equity. Still weird they're allowing the productions to overlap

Would be fun if they could get Barrett Wilbert Weed as Jovie.

Lindsay Heather Pearce posted something about Elf on her insta earlier this week, I wonder if this was it

How similar is this UK version to the Casey N stagings previously seen on Broadway?
NGL, it’s nice to see Matthew Sklar back on Broadway after his surprisingly good score for The Prom. I’d love to see him conduct his Elf score… or sub on Sunset Boulevard!

I think Sklar is one of our most underrated composers!

I don’t think Grey Henson is famous enough to get away with not putting his first name in a title.

I've heard that Mackenzie Kurtz is playing Jovie. I would LOVE to get Beth Leavel back on Broadway re-creating her Emily.

It is an entirely new production that has been done in London/UK the last few years
technically TONY eligible for revival but doubt they go through the hoops

Mackenzie Kurtz as Jovie would be pretty perfect casting.

Austin must need a paycheck. It's such a small role.

Samantha Pauley said she was in final callbacks for Jovie but didn’t get it. She played Jovie in a big Chicago production a few years back.

Oh that's disappointing because she was lovely in that production

Maybe he needs to pay off his Master's Degree in Public Administration and Policy from American University, which he completed earlier this year. I heard him speak very passionately at a Kamala Harris event and he's an incredibly articulate and interesting public speaker.

I've had a crush on Sean Astin for most of my life. From Mikey in Goonies (which was age appropriate at the time as I was 11) to Bob on Stranger Things, my affection has grown along with his waist size (and mine). This might actually get me to buy a ticket.

Well I just went from no desire to ever seeing this again to making sure I’m there multiple times.
