Review | Elf' revival more nice than naughty for holidays | amNewYork
Briefly

While Elf can still hardly be considered a great or even good musical, the new Broadway production is, I must admit, slightly more enjoyable than its predecessors.
The genre of Christmas-themed musicals has developed over two decades, producing shows that appeal to family audiences, although not all are created equal.

Despite my initial reluctance about the new production of Elf, it ultimately offers an increasingly engaging experience for families seeking holiday entertainment.
