'Elf' Musical Offers Sneak Peak Performance

Neligh-Oakdale students will embrace their inner elf when they present "Elf: The Musical" on Friday, March 16, and Saturday, March 17. They offered a sneak peak to elementary students on Thursday. 

The show will begin at 7 p.m. both nights in the Neligh-Oakdale High School Gym. Tickets will be available at the door and will cost $3 each (kindergarten age and up).

"Elf: The Musical" is a Disney Jr. production that tells the story of a young orphan who mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is given the name Buddy and raised by elves in the North Pole. Buddy lives happily unaware that he is actually a human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list, and his stepbrother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of the holidays
