Howard Miller takes a look at Elf at the Marquis Theatre:
Do you believe in Santa Claus? Even a little bit? No? All right, then. Let me sweeten the pot. What do you think about the idea of Samwise Gamgee of The Lord of the Rings fame appearing as Santa Claus in a good old-fashioned Broadway musical with hummable tunes, catchy lyrics, a heartfelt storyline, lots of laughs, solid choreography, and a great cast that understands exactly what kind of show they are in? If that piques your interest, you are definitely in for a treat with Elf, the seasonal holiday production opening tonight at the Marquis Theatre. |
