Elf: The Musical Reviews

DON T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

We spent £270 on 2 seats and wish we hadn't bothered 22/11/2023 1430 show. It was that bad, we left at the interval, we ve seen many shows and have never ever walked out of a show until now. I am so disappointed as we travelled to London especially to see this. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

WORST MUSICAL I’VE EVER SEEN

The best bit was the end. Not only because it was over but there was some snow & Santas sleigh flying was the only good bit. The set looked so cheap. Rubbish effects. Dancing & songs were terrible. Any of the funny bits from the film were made unfunny & cringy. Buddy was so annoying, so was most of the cast. Went with 2 friends & our children aged 11-15 & none of us liked it. Save your money & go to a Christmas Carol at the old vic instead. That was fabulous

SADLY VERY DISAPPOINTED

We were at the 19.30 show, yesterday 2/12/23. 3 adults. We were all very disappointed. It lacked any magic at all and overall our impression was is that it had a poor script, it just was not engaging, and executed with a low budget. Only the Sleigh 'flying' scene suggested any effort on visual effects. We stayed to the end but honestly was glad when it was over. Really sad because this is our favourite Christmas movie.

DISAPPOINTING LET DOWN

We love theatre and I’m so sad to give such a bad review because I know the actors put a lot of love into their work but this was truly awful. It’s the first musical I’ve ever fallen asleep in. The scenery was sparse and empty I was expecting a lot more ‘Christmas ‘ to it, the show itself felt empty and missing something. The end tap dance with the whole cast was nice but this type of thing needed to be interjected into the musical to spice it up a bit it was soo boring ! People started putting on coats when actors were still on stage near the end and were leaving before they had left the stage, this made us sad to see for the actors, if they’d come back out for an encore there would have been no one there ! BUT totally understandable , it really was awful, we had just seen an amateur BLOC Chistmas Carol production at Bristol Hippodrome and the set and cast were outstanding how can a show in London be so bad ? I’m sorry, save your money it wont make you feel Christmassy just broke!

TERRIBLE….

I can’t really start to desribe just how terrible ELF the musical is….its a poorly put together musical with instantly forgettable songs…wrapped around the title of ELF…and full of over acting…. I’m VERY surprised that the film company approved of it….reminded me of a school panto…” Terrible”…and that’s being polite.

PLEASE STOP

This is the worst thing my eyes have ever seen, and I’ve seen fatal accidents. Terrible from start to finish. Plus it cost me £95 each. I’d pay more than that not to have to see it again. It’s too late for me, but save yourselves.

WISH I HAD READ THE REVIEW

The show would have been terrible even if it was a primary school play. Not worthy of the west end! Poor (over) acting by a very camp Elf. What a disappointment. We left after about 30min. Waste of money - avoid
