Photo Flash: 'THE GRINCH' Cast and More Attend The Old Globe's 9th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony
The ninth annual Globe Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony took place last Sunday, November 16 on The Old Globe's Copley Plaza. The ceremony kicked off the holiday season in conjunction with the presentation of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Designed by Grinch scenic designer John Lee Beatty, the unique tree is located in the center of the Plaza and will remain for the run of the show. This fun family event featured a special live performance by members of the Grinch cast and a delightful holiday snowfall on the Globe Plaza. Scroll down for photos!
The Old Globe's 17th annual production of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! will run on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage in the Old Globe Theatre, part of the Globe's Conrad Prebys Theatre Center, now through December 27. Opening night is tomorrow, November 20 at 7:00 p.m.
The Grinch is directed by James Vásquez with book and lyrics by Timothy Mason and music by Mel Marvin. The original production of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! was conceived and directed by Jack O'Brien with Additional Lyrics by Theodor S. Geisel, Additional Music by Albert Hague, and original choreography by John DeLuca.
Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a wonderful, whimsical musical based upon the classic Dr. Seuss book. Back for its 17th incredible year, the family favorite features the songs "Santa for a Day," "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch," and "Welcome, Christmas (Fah Who Doraze)," the delightful carol from the popular animated version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Celebrate the holidays as the Old Globe Theatre is once again transformed into the snow-covered Whoville, right down to the last can of Who-hash.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.TheOldGlobe.org, by phone at (619) 23-GLOBE or by visiting the Box Office.
