Overture Center for the Arts is proud to present nine performances of Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical in Madison from Tues., Nov. 21 - Sun., Nov. 26, 2017. Prior to arriving to Madison for the performances, The Grinch will make a guest appearance at the inaugural Shine on Madison event on Sat., Nov. 18.

Audiences will discover the magic of Dr. Seuss' classic holiday tale as it comes to life live on stage. Featuring the songs "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" and "Welcome Christmas," The Grinch discovers there's more to Christmas than he bargained for in this heart-warming holiday classic. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is "two sizes too small," decides to steal Christmas away from the holiday-loving Whos including Danny Who, played by Wisconsinite Jonathan Nadolny, born and raised in Greenfield, Wis.

THE GRINCH features sets designed by John Lee Beatty and costumes designed by Robert Morgan, inspired by Dr. Seuss' original book, which celebrates its 60th anniversary of publication this year. Mel Marvin and Timothy Mason's music and book breathe new life into this timeless story. The 2017 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 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. More than 1.8 million theater-goers across America have seen this holiday musical, which the Gannett papers hailed as "A genius of a show! A total delight for both kids and adults."

Tickets start at $35 (10+ tickets purchased together receive group discount) are available in person at the Overture Center Ticket Office (201 State Street), online at overture.org or by phone at 608.258.4141.
