The Grinch broke box office records for two consecutive years on Broadway during its holiday engagements at the St. James and Hilton theaters in New York. Since then, more than 1.2 million theater-goers across America have been delighted by this heartwarming holiday musical, which the Gannett papers hailed as "A genius of a show! A total delight for both kids and adults."
Audiences will find their hearts growing a few sizes along with the Grinch's when they experience the magic of the beloved tale on stage, which features the hit songs "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" and "Welcome Christmas" (written by Albert Hague and Dr. Seuss), from the original animated television special. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is "two sizes too small," decides to steal Christmas away from the loveable Whos.
DR. SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL features magnificent sets designed by John Lee Beatty and costumes designed by Robert Morgan, inspired by Dr. Seuss' original book, while the Music and Book of Mel Marvin and Timothy Mason breathe new life into this timeless story.
The 2015 production is directed by Matt August and choreographed by Bob Richard, based on the original choreography by John DeLuca and originally created by three-time Tony Award winning director, Jack O'Brien.
The U.S. National Tour of HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL will be performed at Jacksonville's Times-Union Center's Moran Theater for nine performances only, matinees and evenings.
