Elf The Musical in Dubai: Catch the cult classic at Mall of the Emirates

The fun-filled show runs from 17 to 24 December. 

Do you know where the lines “there’s room for everyone on the nice list”, and “I just like to smile, smiling’s my favourite” are from? Well, if you answered the film Elf, then you’re correct. Plus, you’ll be pleased to hear that Elf The Musical is singing and dancing its way to Dubai.

During the festive season, you can catch Elf The Musical in Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates. Taking place from 17 to 24 December, it promises to be a fun-filled 80-minute show for all the family.

Elf The Musical is based on the film Elf, and the live show was created in 2010. The Oliver Award-winning musical started life on New York’s Broadway, and toured the world including London’s West End. Plus, it was one of the fastest-selling shows at London’s Dominion Theatre.

We expect Elf The Musical to be a fun night out, especially since the song list has titles ranging from Sparklejollytwinklejingley to Nobody Cares About Santa. It will feel like Christmas in Dubai, as the stage will bring to life the streets of New York in the winter and the magic of the North Pole. Produced by Paul Taylor-Mills, it will also feature performers from London’s West End and Dubai’s arts school, Diverse. 

For those who are unfamiliar with the 2003 film, it is a modern-day Christmas story, which has earnt its place as a cult favourite. Starring Will Ferrell as the innocent but lovable Buddy, we follow his journey from the North Pole to New York as he tries to find his biological father. The film also stars Zooey Deschanel and James Caan, and was directed by Jon Favreau.

Tickets for Elf The Musical in Dubai go on sale on 17 October and start from AED 100. If you cannot wait, sign up and receive a notification when the tickets are live. 

So, get into the festive spirit and follow Buddy’s advice: “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.”
