Get Directions“The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!”
The movie Elf, starring Will Ferrell, told the story of a human baby who crawled into Santa's bag and was raised by elves in the North Pole. It premiered in time for Christmas in 2003 and became an instant holiday classic.
A stellar cast (Bob Newhart, Ed Asner as Santa, Zooey Deschanel as Jolie, James Caan and Mary Steenburgen), Ferrell’s goofy antics as Buddy the Elf (dancing in the mail room, eating spaghetti swimming in maple syrup, downing a two-liter bottle of Coke in one giant gulp), his journey to New York to find his dad, and a heartwarming message all combined to make it a standard of the Christmas season.
Elf in Concert is a cool production that brings the movie to life. It's projected on a giant screen, while every note of John Debney's musical score is played live by a symphony orchestra. In 2023, it was part of the North Charleston Pops! series at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center and took place Friday, December 15th at 7:00 p.m. Date and details for 2024 are tentative, so check back closer to the holidays for the latest info.
So remember the four basic elf food groups - candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup. And be sure to sing loud for all to hear, to help spread that Christmas cheer!
