'Elf The Musical'

Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal

Special to The Village News

Santa is in the house at The Welk Theater!

He arrived last week and will only stay until the 24th of December when, of course, Santa must travel the world leaving toys for all of the good boys and girls.

Which is why the elves are busy at the North Pole putting together this year's bounty. Except for Buddy (Bryan Banville) who is behind on his toy quota.

Know in advance "Elf The Musical" is two-hours-and-forty-five minutes. A nap might be in order for evening performances.

Just the same, it is one of the happiest shows you'll see. And did I mention there are tap-dancing elves?

Ticket prices for children under 14 is only $32.50 each. To order tickets, call the Welk Theatre Box Office, 760-749-3448 or toll free at 1-888-802-7469, or visit tickets.welksandiego.com.

Book early to see this good-hearted Christmas story filled with happiness. It is an ideal choice for the entire family, out-of-town guests, curmudgeons, and even humbugs. I promise, you will leave smiling.

The best part is when you get tickets to see "Elf The Musical" you will be removed from Santa's Naughty List. This show is a delight. Rated 9.5 out of 10.
