How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Why see How The Grinch Stole Christmas?

You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch!

Dr. Seuss' beloved holiday tale, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, has become a perennial holiday classic! Max the Dog is your narrator as the Grinch's fiendish plan to steal Christmas from the holiday-loving Whos unfolds. However, the Grinch soon discovers there's more to Christmas than he bargained for in this heart-warming holiday classic.

Featuring the hit songs 'You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch' and 'Welcome Christmas', this beloved tale comes to life on stage in a magical production for the entire family... well, probably best to leave your own four-legged family members at home!

What is The Grinch About?

Christmas is the best time to be living in Whoville - it's every Who's favorite time of year! However all the Christmas cheer in the world just isn't enough to get The Grinch into the festive spirit. Teased as a child, this green grump has grown to become a rather mean old man determined to ruin Christmas for each and every Who! Will the kindness of one tiny Who be enough to melt his icy heart?

Amazing!!

I saw this show a few years ago at the St. James Theater and (because it was so much fun!) had to go back this year at MSG. I'm still blown away by how well done it is. They really bring the entire "Whoville community" to life in a modern and thoughtful way without ever sacrificing the original intent of the adorable Dr. Seuss methodology.

(PS where's the cast recording!?!?!?!) HB ... Read more

More than I Expected

I bought tickets for "The Grinch," thinking it would be an enjoyable time with my grandkids.. It was so much more than that. Exciting! Well-acted (particularly Cindy Who and the Grinch. )Great actors--I was so impressed with the quality of the whole thing. It absolutely drew the audience in so that we became part of the drama and interacted with the cast. I was sorry to see it end. Drama is supposed to engage the audience . And "Grinch" certainly did that! ... Read more
