Good Morning America: “Elf” Cast, Taika Waititi, and Book of the Year Reveal

Good Morning America

Good Morning America” is brewing a potent cocktail of Broadway razzle-dazzle, literary anticipation, and celebrity banter this Friday, November 15. The cast of “Elf The Musical” is set to invade the studio with a live performance, while Barnes & Noble unveils its coveted Book of the Year. Plus, Taika Waititi and Jimmy O. Yang are slated to grace the GMA couch, presumably to discuss their buzzworthy Hulu series, “Interior Chinatown.”

So, what can viewers expect amidst this festive chaos? Well, “Elf The Musical,” for the uninitiated, follows Buddy the Elf’s slightly deranged quest to connect with his biological father in the concrete jungle of New York City. Prepare for some aggressively cheerful musical numbers to blast you awake.

The Barnes & Noble Book of the Year announcement is always a major event on the literary calendar. Will it be a worthy winner or another head-scratcher? Tune in to witness the literary judgment (and inevitable online debates) unfold.

Meanwhile, Waititi and Yang’s appearance is perfectly timed with the growing buzz surrounding “Interior Chinatown,” a sharp satire taking aim at Hollywood’s tired Asian stereotypes.
