The Magic Elves

4
A Christmas play for the very young
By Robert Iles - 3rd Dec 2014

What a delightful show for the little ones. This really is a show that entertains, engages and involves its audience - well, those members of it under 5 anyway. There is plenty of fun and music, some 'magic' and lots oc curious and funny characters - as well as an actual story!

Adults will find plenty to laugh at but the real delight for them is to watch the way their children enjoy the show. There's even a get-up-and-dance section at the end where they can meet the characters and have fun.

The versatile cast work hard to make this an enjoyable show and they succeed admirably ... would probably have been 5 stars but I was a bit concerned at the opening "look how much fun it is to play with big plastic bags" section, hopefully they'll replace that with an age-appropriate material at some point. Never the less, a great time was had by all
