ORANGE COUNTY PREMIERE OF ELF THE MUSICAL
12.15.16
The Broadway musical ELF will be making its Orange County premiere December 20– January 1at Segerstrom Center for the Arts. ELF is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported back to the North Pole.
Buddy’s enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth—that he is actually human. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father, discover his true identity and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. This modern day Christmas classic is helping to make everyone embrace their inner ELF.
Tickets to ELF The Musical start at $29 and are available online at SCFTA.org, by calling 714.556-2787 and at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa. For inquiries about group ticket savings for 10 or more, please call the Group Services office at 714.755-0236.
The 2 p.m. performance on Saturday, December 31 will include audio description, open captioning and sign-language interpretation.

As we get closer to Christmas, the sales of gift cards soar as they become a best bet for last minute presents. For years restaurants have offered incentives to the buyer but many are restrictive. By far, the two best we've seen in OC this season are offered by Vaca and TAPS. Here's the details:
VACA

This can be loaded onto the same card or a separate one for you! No restrictions--it is a gift card. Good for food and bar, and Vaca is just introducing a new menu with some great cocktails and tapas you will want to try! Offer ends December 31, 2016. vaca.mybigcommerce.com/gcard/
