Simon Lipkin and Georgina Castle will be playing the much-loved characters Buddy and Jovie in Elf, the smash hit musical, which returns to London in a new production at the Dominion Theatre for a strictly limited 8-week season.  Elf will begin previews on 14 November and open on 24 November 2022, with the season finishing on 7 January 2023.

Elf is the funny and charming tale of Buddy, who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts as a baby and is transported back to the North Pole and raised as an elf! Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy’s enormous size and poor toy-making abilities finally cause him to face the truth and realise he’ll never belong in the North Pole. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York to find his birth father, discover his true identity and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.
