THEATRE fans are being reminded there's just one week left to secure early bird tickets for Elf The Musical.

Beginning on December 14 this year at Charter Hall, Colchester, and running until January 5 2025, the on-stage adaptation of the Christmas classic is being staged by Colchester Events, in partnership with Stage Right Entertainment.

The full cast list will be disclosed later in the year.

James Young, from Colchester Events, said: "We anticipated that Elf The Musical would be the hottest ticket in town, and we are delighted to see ticket sales reaching across our county and into the neighbouring counties of Kent and Suffolk.

"Now we’re keen to remind local residents there’s just one week to go until the early bird offer ends on 31 January."

From February 1, ticket prices will revert to their full rate.

Tickets are currently available for purchase at Colchester Events' website.

The musical is based on the book by Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin.

Music is by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Beguelin and was inspired by the New Line Cinema film.

The 36-show run stars Buddy, a human raised as an elf in the North Pole who embarks on a journey to New York to meet his birth father.
