The Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre has something for everyone on their list—adults and children! The Main Theatre presents the smash hit ELF The Musical from November 10 through December 25, 2023.

“Based on the popular film, this charming and whimsical musical comedy will spread holiday cheer for all to hear!” says Director of Sales and Marketing Kathy Bernier.

As a young orphan, Buddy crawls into Santa's bag and lands in the North Pole, where he is raised. He doesn’t realize that he’s human until he grows and realizes he has poor toy-making abilities. Santa allows him to head off on a journey to discover his identity.  Elf The Musical runs November 10 through December 25, 2023. Performances are Tuesday through Sunday evenings with selected matinees. Tickets are $70 to $95, with group and children’s prices available.

The Children’s Theatre offers the smash hit Madagascar: A Musical Adventure from November 28 through December 24, 2023. “This fabulous children’s show is based on the blockbuster Dreamworks film and is perfect for the whole family!” adds Bernier.  Children’s Theatre ticket prices for the buffet and the show are only $25 for all ages. Group rates are available for parties of 20 or more. Main Theatre tickets are available for dinner & show or show only.
