From the North Pole to Milwaukee
The holiday season is here, and Buddy the Elf is bringing his holly jolly joy to the Marcus Performing Arts Center (MPAC). Today, December 1, 2024, marks the last day you can see “Elf the Musical” in Milwaukee.
The original Elf movie starring Will Farrel has brought almost 20 years of joy to audiences across the globe, and the musical has been bringing the North Pole magic to audiences since 2010. Featuring its unique storyline, audiences receive a fresh take on Buddy and other classic characters while bringing back nostalgia with classic scenes and lines to further connect with the audience.
Meet A Cast Member
Tyler Price Robinson is an actor and educator from New Orleans, Louisiana, and is a member of the musical cast as Mr. Greenway and the Macy’s store manager. He has been feeling the holiday cheer while touring to perform this Christmas classic.
“I was really, really excited because I remembered the movie from when I was a younger kid. It was just a staple Christmas film,” said Robinson. “So, it was something that I watched as a kid. I was just excited to get started with it and to have fun.”
During its run at the MPAC, there were special evenings for the audience to connect with the cast and the officials who brought the show to Milwaukee.
“I think that sometimes people think that Christmas is an adult with kids thing and a kids thing,” said Robinson. “There’s really nothing stopping you from grabbing your friends and coming to Elf the Musical and feeling that spirit together.”
