For those of you who saw the Broadway production or the current touring production, what is your opinion of the show?  I have to make up my mind by midnight (current sale is over) and I really don't know if I should invest the time.  Ticket price would be low, so that is not a factor.  Please help me make up my mind either for/against.  Thanks.

It's 90 harmless minutes. If the actor playing the Grinch is good (I saw Patrick Page) it can be quite fun.

 

If they're using the same set as the previous incarnations it's tacky and 2 dimensional. 

 

I would go see it again if the price was right. It's not a horrible adaptation by any means.

The show itself is fine: inoffensive and relatively pleasant. If you're on the fence about the quality of the material, check out the cast recording on Spotify before deciding; it's almost the entire show.

Thanks for the responses.  I saw it tonight.  It was......cute.  For a touring (non equity) production it was above average.  The actor, playing the Grinch, Stefan Karl, was very good.  The little girl playing Cindy Lou, was adorable.  But once was enough for me.
