ELF: Christmas Musical Spectacular starring Jordan Conway lands at Liverpool M&S Bank Arena Christmas 2025.
After sell out Arena tours and record-breaking sales, ELF: Christmas Musical Spectacular —the hilarious, hit stage adaptation of the beloved holiday movie—is coming to Liverpool in 2025!
This larger-than-life production brings the festive magic to the arena with unforgettable scenes, including Santa’s flying sleigh, an interactive snowball fight with the audience, and a giant candy cane journey from the North Pole, all set against breath-taking video-film backdrops on a massive LED screen.
With a large cast and live orchestra, the winter spectacular will star one of the UK’s most exciting rising comedy talents, Jordan Conway, who will step into the big floppy shoes of Will Ferrell. Jordan takes on the iconic role fresh from playing Charlie Chaplin in London and Los Angeles in the acclaimed comedy play ‘Laurel and Chaplin-The Feud’ and flying high as Peter Pan at the OVO Hydro, last Christmas.
Produced and directed by the legendary Jon Conway, known for his work in panto and musical comedy, the show features a script by the acclaimed Bob Martin and Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and an original score of joyful songs by Matt Sklar and Chad Beguelin.
As Buddy the Elf would say, “You’d have to be a cotton-headed ninny muggins” to miss this feel-good festive extravaganza!
