Proctors will present Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical for nine performances on the MainStage at Proctors from Dec. 2-7 as part of the 2025 season.
Proctors will present its first-ever sensory-friendly performance at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, for Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical. Designed to create a welcoming environment for all, the sensory-friendly performance features adjusted sound and lighting, a judgment-free atmosphere, sensory bags available at our concierge table, and designated quiet spaces. Audience members are free to move, speak, or leave their seats as needed, making it an ideal experience for those with sensory sensitivities or developmental disabilities.
Audiences will discover the magic of Dr. Seuss’ classic holiday tale as it comes to life live on stage. Featuring the hit 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.
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 2.5 million theatergoers across America have been delighted by this heart-warming holiday musical, which Gannett hailed as “A genius of a show! A total delight for both kids and adults.”
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. Mel Marvin and Timothy Mason’s music and book breathe new life into this timeless story.
The 2025 production is directed by Matt August and co-directed and choreographed by Bob Richard, based on the original choreography by John DeLuca and originally created by 4-time Tony Award® winning director, Jack O’Brien.
