Get ready to jingle, giggle, and spread a little holiday cheer with The Happy Elf, a joyful 30-minute live theatre experience inspired by the book and song by Harry Connick Jr. Created especially for our youngest audience members, this festive adaptation follows Eubie the Elf—a relentlessly cheerful North Pole helper—on his mission to bring Christmas spirit to the glum town of Bluesville. With toe-tapping tunes, bright visuals, and laugh-out-loud moments, this holiday show is a merry adventure for the whole family!
Interactive Experience:
During the performance, young audience members are invited to sing along, dance with elves, and help Eubie share the true spirit of the season. From jingling bells to making snow angels in the air, kids are part of the fun every step of the way.
Experiential Opportunities:
- Pre-show Activities: Families will be welcomed with holiday-themed craft stations.
- Interactive Moments: Children will help Eubie spread joy to Bluesville by joining in on musical numbers, tossing pretend snow, and creating cheer with the characters onstage.
Educational Elements:
The Happy Elf promotes kindness, empathy, and the power of positive thinking. It encourages creative expression through music and movement while reinforcing messages about generosity, teamwork, and believing in the magic of the holidays.
Join us for a holly-jolly celebration that lights up little hearts with laughter, music, and the joy of giving. The Happy Elf is the perfect holiday introduction to the world of theatre for ages 0–5—full of sparkle, song, and seasonal fun!
