West End stars Gina Beck and Neil McDermott have written and will star in the world première of The Elf Who Was Scared of Christmas, which will run at Charing Cross Theatre from Tuesday 8th – Wednesday 23rd December.
Neil McDermott and Gina Beck met over 20 years ago performing with the National Youth Music Theatre. Unbelievably, their career paths haven’t crossed since! They now live in the same village with their families and decided to come together during these unprecedented times to create an original theatre show for young people that could be performed under the current restrictions.
With two children each, they really wanted to make something for small people and their families to ensure that Christmas this year is as magical as ever.
Meet Figgy and Cupcake, two of Santa’s Christmas elves. For 11 months of the year, Cupcake is a bright and bubbly bundle of joy. But come December 1st, all that changes – because Cupcake is ‘The Elf Who Was Scared of Christmas’.
Come and join Figgy in an original Christmas story as he tries to help Cupcake overcome her fear of Christmas. Using the power of imagination, and with a little help from you, will he be able to remind her of the importance and magic of Christmas? And, in helping Cupcake, will Figgy solve some of his own Christmassy problems?
The Elf Who Was Scared of Christmas runs at Charing Cross Theatre from Tuesday 8th – Wednesday 23rd December. Tickets are on sale here.
