You may have heard that the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. Wrong. The real best way? Watching other people sing loud for all to hear -- especially if they’re also performing a broadway version of Elf, the 2003 Will Ferrell movie about a human raised as an elf who sets out to find his real parents. Only a cotton-headed ninnymuggins would pass that up.

Elf the Musical passes through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and lands in Mesa Arts Center’s Ikeda Theater at 1 East Main Street on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 2 and 3. Tickets start at $40. Call 480-644-6500 or visit mesaartscenter.com for more.

Tue., Dec. 2, 7:30 p.m.; Wed., Dec. 3, 7:30 p.m., 2014
