BRILLION, Wis. (WFRV) – As one of the 34 schools participating in the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center’s Center Stage program, Brillion High School students showed off their musical skills through a beloved holiday classic.
“Elf the Musical” was the selection for Brillion High School students, as they performed the musical adaptation of the 2003 Christmas movie, ‘Elf.’ The musical is similar to the movie, as it follows the story of Buddy the Elf as he leaves the North Pole to go find his real family.

Choir and Musical Director Jonathan Kobs emphasized that while the audience could expect familiarity with the movie, there’s a Broadway twist as well. The show opened on Thursday night, with the closing show on Saturday afternoon after months of preparation by the crew.
“We do our auditions in May and students had the summer to prepare and research before starting rehearsals in August,” Kobs said. “It’s been a very intense run-up to this production.”
