Elf The Musical’s Store Manager Dermot Canavan on Festive Magic, Career Highlights & More
In this festive episode of Queerly’s Stage and Screen Podcast, Harvey Morton chats with Dermot Canavan, the charismatic Store Manager in Elf The Musical currently playing at the Aldwych Theatre. Dermot shares his unique take on the beloved character, describing him as a “big old gay” with a flair for the dramatic, and talks about how the show has become a modern Christmas classic that brings out the childlike wonder in all of us. Hear Dermot’s heartfelt memories of Christmas magic from his own childhood, his thoughts on the show’s perfect balance of humour and meaningful messages, and what it’s like performing in such a joyful, high-energy production. He also reflects on his diverse career spanning Shakespeare, musicals like Hairspray and Fiddler on the Roof, and his work as a playwright. Whether you’re a fan of Elf or new to the show, this lively conversation offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the magic of the musical and Dermot’s journey as a performer. Don’t miss it!
