When is 'Elf - A Christmas Spectacular' coming to Dublin's 3Arena and how do I get tickets?

A super-sized, star-studded musical of the much-loved Hollywood movie ELF is coming to Dublin this Christmas.

The West End and Broadway production based on the Will Ferrell film will hit the 3Arena this December for just two performances.

The show will star award-winning Coronation Street actress and singer Kym Marsh as Buddy the Elf’s girlfriend, Jovie, and Shaun Williamson (Barry Evans in EastEnders, Extras ) as Buddy’s dad Walter Hobbs.

Mrs Brown's Boys star tells how her son was 'very angry' when she told him she was gay - because she took so long to come out 

Kym Marsh’s eight-year-old daughter Polly will also be part of the cast in her very first acting role.

Reprising his role as Buddy the Elf will be comedy actor Tam Ryan, who counts Priscilla Presley amongst his past leading ladies.

The cast also features Father Christmas and a line-up of 70 child and adult performers.

Kym said: “I am delighted to be getting back on stage and joining the cast of Elf this December.

“Elf is an iconic Christmas film and having seen the musical myself last year I am very excited to be part of this fun and heart-warming family show.”

Tickets for the Christmas spectacular on 28 and 29 December 2019 go on sale next Thursday, 11 April from Ticketmaster.
