Elf The Musical JR.

Elf The Musical JR.
Based on the beloved holiday film, this hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy follows Buddy the Elf in his quest to find his true identity.

A title known the world over, Elf The Musical JR. is a must-produce holiday musical that can easily become an annual tradition for any theatre. Based on the cherished New Line Cinema hit, Elf JR. features songs by Tony Award-nominees, Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin, with a book by Tony Award-winners, Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin.

Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and that his half-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

This modern-day holiday classic is sure to make every young performer embrace his or her "inner elf" with plenty of large ensemble numbers featuring elves and (New Yorkers) of every type.

Can you get an orchestra score for Elf, Jr.?

We would prefer to use a live orchestra instead of "canned" or recorded orchestra. Is it possible to get an orchestra score for Elf, Jr.?

Can individual songs be purchased?
I am associated with a non-profit organization, and we would like to perform a few individual songs from this musical. Would it be possible to purchase the sheet music and accompaniment tracks without purchasing the rest of the materials?

Are there other pricing options for materials?
My name is Lane Raley from Princeton Elementary School in Princeton, LA. I am interested in purchasing Elf Jr. for our school to perform. Unfortunately we cannot charge people to attend our performance, so we will not reclaim any money from our performance. Are there other pricing options that would be more affordable for our situation? Thank you.

Pricing?
Hi, I work in a small village primary school and would love to do this show with my class of 27 children for the Christmas play this year. We charge a minimal entry fee to the performances of £1 to cover costs of props etc and only do two shows, one afternoon and another evening. Is there any chance of getting the script and music for any cheaper than €800?
