This classic holiday story returns to Broadway just in time for the Christmas season. After a sold-out run last year Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas comes to the St. James Theatre on November 1, 2007. This family friendly musical adaptation of the beloved holiday tale comes to life right before your eyes. This is definitely one show that must be added to your family’s holiday traditions.

In this version Max the Dog narrates as the scheming Grinch decides to take Christmas away from the Who’s down in Whoville because he can’t stand their singing and happy faces during this particular time of year. The Grinch, a natural plotter, dresses as Santa and steals everything from the Christmas tree and presents right down to the Who’s “roast beast”. But as it turns out not even the mean, old Grinch can stop Christmas from coming for the Who’s and they celebrate despite his dastardly efforts. The Grinch realizes that there is more to Christmas then presents, it isn’t about the tree or the feast but about the love and togetherness that is shared during this time. The Who’s are able to soften the Grinch’s heart and teach him the true meaning of the season.

The production stars many of the same actors from last year reprising their roles including Patrick Page as the Grinch. Page is best known for playing Scar in The Lion King and Lumiere in The Beauty and the Beast. The show also features Darin DePaul, Ed Dixon and Aaron Galligan-Stierle. The production is directed by Matt August with the Book and lyrics by Timothy Mason. The music is by Mel Marvin but the production also features the hit songs from the timeless television special “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas”. This familiar holiday standard will make audiences fall in love with the Grinch all over again.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a warm and funny holiday tale that is sure to brighten anyone’s season. The special effects and eye pleasing surprises will keep children as well as adults mesmerized throughout the production.
