Elf: The Musical Reviews
Jess from London, England
BAD PANTO
Very low budget - expected a lot more for the prices charged. Just awful.
Claire from London, England
NOT WORTH £85 A SEAT!
We saw this yesterday and was left very disappointed! We left at half time because it just wasn't what we expected. The show itself wasn't great. The venue was far to hot and the cast/staff at the side of the stage were a massive distraction because they were in full view of where I was sitting. I left a review on Facebook and a cast member called Ryan Jupp left me a couple of messages telling me I should of stayed until the second half because it was magical! He then deleted his comments. I shouldn't have to wait until the second half to get a good experience! Overall it was very disappointing and I wouldn't recommend it. We love the film and will just be sticking to that in future!

ALL THE JOY SUCKED FROM MY SOUL
Believe the reviews. Lazy hackneyed and cliché writing. Holy mother of God I was facepalming for the entire half I endured before walking out as did everyone else with no tiny children. Even leaving the security were laughing at how many people generally walked out. Good god. What a waste of money and life . Please close this dog dirt down

WORST MUSICAL I’VE EVER SEEN.
We walked out after 20 minutes. The set design was extremely poor and cheap looking. The lighting was below average. Very poor adaption of the film and annoying. Wouldn’t recommend

IF ONLY I COULD LEAVE 0 STARS!
Worst thing I’ve EVER seen. An experience that left me feeling anything but jolly. 3 of our party fell asleep. Overpriced Cheap staging. Unimaginative and flat. Main character was terrible. Pointless, long and boring songs. People leaving mid performance. No standing ovation. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid!!!
Scott from London, England
DISAPPOINTED
Couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Worst fake accents, terrible acting, boring, no story and just rubbish. All 3 of us fell asleep. First half went on far too long. Like they wanted to get it out of the way. The girlfriend and the mam were the best. The extras hardly had any role at all. At £60 a ticket with 2 shows a day this is taking £250k a day. I have seen much better local pantomimes. The end of the show is the only decent thing. Hardly any special effects. I really wanted to leave at the internal but I forced myself to stay otherwise I doubt I would have went to a show ever again. Second half was better, but seriously am I missing something?

Comical fun FESTIVE!
I'd like to have spaghetti and syrup with Elf for breakfast.
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas at the Dominion Theatre. Ushers whisper, "Are you excited?" into little ears in the enthusiastically decorated lobby of the Dominion Theatre. And excited we were!
