Elf The Musical Jr is based on the 2003 New Line Cinema hit.

The musical tells the story of a young orphan who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole.

The would-be elf is given the name Buddy and raised by elves in the North Pole.

Buddy lives happily 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.

Drew Cohen, president of MTI, said: “Elf The Musical Jr is an uplifting musical about one boy’s quest to find his true identity.

“From the first rehearsal the students from BTA have worked together as a team to create this wonderful experience for the community to enjoy.

“We think they deserve a standing ovation for all their work.”

Tickets, priced at £11 for adults, £10 for concessions, and £38 for a family, are available from www.blackfriarsartscentre.co.uk
