Christmas
ELF – The MusicalBased on the beloved festive film, starring Will Ferrell, ‘Elf’ fea-
tures a book by Tony® Award winners Thomas Meehan and

Skylar and Chad Beguelin.
‘Elf’ is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan child who
mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported
back to the North Pole. Unaware that he is actually human,
Buddy’s enormous size and poor toymaking abilities cause him
to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on
a journey to New York City to find his birth father, discover his
true identity, and help New York remember the true meaning of

Northern Broadsides presents
Hard TimesThe Northern Powerhouse, 1854.
Coketown – a place where the imagination is forbidden.
Thomas Gradgrind will not permit fanciful thoughts in his school
or his home. So how can he protect his children from the cor-
rupting influences of the circus when it comes to town? Dark
satanic mills, interrupted by the colour and vibrancy of Sleary’s
Circus, set the stage for a sweeping tale of supressed love, se-
duction and social mores, peopled with the sharply observed
characters that Dickens is celebrated for.
This witty adaptation of a great Northern novel is a touching
and often hilarious tale of repression and longing.
