Buddy the Elf is Coming to The 5th Avenue Theatre
Seattle, get ready — Buddy the Elf is officially on the loose! Word on the street is that he’s been spotted all over the city, from catching fish at Pike Place Market to spreading Christmas cheer on random street corners. But don’t worry, he’ll be heading back to where he belongs just in time for the holidays: The 5th Avenue Theatre!
Starting November 28, Elf: The Musical brings the beloved 2003 holiday movie to life with all the songs, laughs, and Christmas spirit you could ever need. If you know the story, you know Buddy’s not your average elf — he’s a little taller, a little slower at toy-making, and has a much bigger heart. Once he discovers he’s actually human, Buddy takes off to New York City to find his dad, Walter Hobbs, and along the way reminds everyone (including us) what the holidays are really about: love, laughter, and believing in magic.
Whether you grew up quoting the movie or you’re introducing your kids to it for the first time, this musical is a guaranteed feel-good time. Expect singing, dancing, and a whole lot of Christmas spirit packed into one stage show that’s full of heart and humor.
Elf: The Musical runs at The 5th Avenue Theatre from November 28 through December 28, 2025.
