Asheville Community Theatre

"Unannounced Transgender Kiss in Elf Jr. Parents should have been told Buddy is cast as a woman in Elf Jr., and that the play includes her kissing another woman on stage, and pursuing her throughout the play. I took my young children to Elf Jr, on a special trip with hundreds of other high school children. The original script calls for a male actor, and this significant change was not announced in the ad. Check the cast before you go if you intend to bring kids."

"Don't know what Elf musical the other reviewer saw but it was great. It did follow the movie pretty well and they make one joke when Buddy hugs a guy and he says he has a boyfriend. Great show and had a great time."

"We left half way through the Elf. Didn't follow movie story line hardly any. Kids were bored. They also had to shove in our face a "gay" character mentioning his BFs. This is uncalled for and again, not even part of the movie!!"

"We went to see Elf The Musical here and it was great! The theater was small and cozy but not claustrophobic and the bathrooms were clean."

"What a delight! I was in Asheville for a conference, staying at the hotel right behind the playhouse and literally stumbled upon the production while taking a walk. I remembered "Our Town" fondly from high school, 45 years ago, and decided to take in the play. One of my better choices. The cast and direction were splendid. The theater is so comfortable and perfect for watching a play. The front of house staff were very welcoming and happy to be there. I have to admit, I shed a few tears near the end--such a timeless theme. And I absolutely LOVE the inclusiveness of the company and the parallel overarching theme of this season. Do yourself a favor...check out Our Town and support Asheville Community Theatre. They have a story to tell..."
