MAIN ATTRACTIONS
Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical: Nov. 10-15, 2026
Celebrating 20 years of holiday magic, Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical is the record-setting Broadway sensation that has delighted more than 3 million theatergoers across 83 cities and 1,700 performances. The production broke box office records during its Broadway engagements and continues to be a beloved holiday tradition for audiences of all ages.
Don’t miss what The New York Times calls “AN EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE! 100 times better than any bedtime story.” Featuring the hit songs “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” from the original animated special, this heart-warming musical brings Dr. Seuss’ classic story to life on stage. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is “two sizes too small,” hatches a plan to steal Christmas from the cheerful, holiday-loving Whos—only to discover there’s more to the season than he ever bargained for.
With magnificent sets and costumes inspired by Dr. Seuss’ original illustrations, the show transports audiences into the whimsical world of Whoville and breathes new life into this timeless story of the true meaning of Christmas. For more information, please visit www.GrinchMusical.com.
