Elf Was Simply Spectacular!
by AHHMANDAH on 1/14/14Walnut Street Theatre - PhiladelphiaI loved everything about Elf. This was my first time to Walnut Street Theater and it was a very happy one at that! Granted, Christmas is my favorite time of year. So it was no surpise that I was excited about the pretty white lights, greenery and fabulous decor of the theater. It was adorable. I was excited before even walking inside. Luckily, the theater didn't make everyone stand outside like most New York City theaters do before the show. The weather was awful so this would have been a real bummer. They let everyone in to stand and walk around, purchase food, drinks and/or little trinkets. Once the doors opened, everyone began to pile into their seats. I was very pleased with our seats. We were second row on the left side. There definitely didn't appear to be a lousy seat in the place, but I was happy with where we were. I was a bit nervous with our angle...but it ended up being perfect and I had no problem with the view. Everything was right up close and personal. :o) The show itself was amazing. The cast was simply wonderful. I loved all the music and the dancing and thought it was actually really funny. I think whoever played Santa was GREAT. He was so lively and I kind of wanted to hang out with him after the show... I seriously loved everything from beginning to end and that won't be my last time at this theater!
