Get ready for a sparkle-jolly-twinkle-jingley time as Elf The Musical returns to the West End — and this year, Aled Jones joins the ensemble, bringing his warmth, charm and decades of stage experience to this festive favourite.

Fresh from a record-breaking Broadway season, the “ultimate Christmas show” (Smooth FM) is back at the Aldwych Theatre until 3 January 2026. Based on the much-loved film, Elf tells the hilarious and heartwarming story of Buddy, who accidentally crawled into Santa’s bag as a baby and grew up at the North Pole. Too tall, too human, and not exactly excelling at toy-making, Buddy soon realises he doesn’t quite fit in. When Santa shares the truth about his past, Buddy sets off to New York to find his real father — and discovers love, family, and the true spirit of Christmas along the way.

With rave reviews calling it “absolutely brilliant” (Heart Radio), “a real cracker” (Daily Mail), and “full to the brim with Christmas spirit” (Classic FM), this musical is guaranteed to leave audiences smiling, singing and firmly on the Very, Very Nice List.

Early booking is recommended for this spectacular seasonal production.
A joyful, heartwarming evening for all ages.
