  • Elf the Musical: News Release
    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release DATE: November 2018 CONTACT: Kori Radloff, [email protected], 402-502-4641 Rose Theater spreads Christmas cheer with Elf the Musical (OMAHA, Nebr.) The Rose Theater is spreading Christmas cheer for all to hear with its upcoming production of Elf the Musical. Based on the cherished 2003 New Line Cinema hit, Elf is holiday fun for everyone. The show opens Nov. 30 and runs through Dec. 23. Elf the Musical follows the story of Buddy (played by Dan Chevalier), an “elf” working at the North Pole who learns he is not an elf at all, but actually a human who crept into Santa’s magic bag of gifts when he was a baby. When he comes to grips with the reality of his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities, he embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. “When Buddy gets to New York, there is this clash of cultures with his father, Walter Hobbs, and really, with the world. On one hand, we have Buddy, the world’s biggest optimist who believes fundamentally in the goodness of everyone, and he is faced with a world that has grown cynical and jaded, and worst of all – no longer believes in Santa Claus,” says Rose artistic director Matthew Gutschick, who is directing Elf. On the streets of New York City, Buddy encounters individuals who are overwhelmed with the stress of the holidays, who have forgotten the Christmas spirit, and who are filled with negativity. When he arrives at the office of his father, Walter (played by Anthony Clark-Kaczmarek), Buddy finds him ranting to his wife and son about Christmas being a complete annoyance.

    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release DATE: November 2019 CONTACT: Kori Radloff, [email protected], 402-502-4641 Rose Theater spreads Christmas cheer with the return of Elf the Musical (OMAHA, Nebr.) Elf the Musical returns to The Rose Theater, spreading Christmas cheer for all to hear, November 29 - Dec. 22, 2019. The show, which is based on the cherished 2003 New Line Cinema hit, was last year’s holiday hit with a sold-out run. The Rose looks forward to sharing the production with even more family audiences in 2019. “Yes, we are remounting the very popular Elf the Musical,” says Rose artistic director Matthew Gutschick, who is directing Elf. “While it’s true that one reason we decided to bring this show back is to allow audiences another opportunity to see a show that we are really proud of, I also feel that it is never a bad time to feature a play that focuses on the obstacles that kindness faces in the world, and the ultimate victory of kindness. That is what this piece is fundamentally doing -- and doing in a very bold way.” Elf the Musical follows the story of Buddy (played by Dan Chevalier), an “elf” working at the North Pole who learns he is not an elf at all, but actually a human who crept into Santa’s magic bag of gifts when he was a baby. When he comes to grips with the reality of his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities, he embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity.
