Meet The Star Of The Show: Jordan Conway
Stepping into Buddy the Elf’s iconic shoes is Jordan Conway, one of the UK’s brightest rising comedy stars.

Now, Jordan brings his charm and comedic brilliance to Abu Dhabi, making Buddy’s lovable antics come alive like never before in one of his most loved holiday films!

Joining Jordan is Kelly Benlaki as Jovie, Buddy’s love interest, and Barry Bloxham as his ever-exasperated dad.

The toe-tapping original score, created by Matt Sklar and Chad Beguelin, has captivated audiences on Broadway and the West End alike.
