Act now to get your kids tickets to see the stage play of Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas when it premiers in Orange County December 10th – 14th at Segerstrom Center.
Families will find their hearts growing a few sizes along with the Grinch’s when they experience the magic of the beloved tale on stage, which features the hit songs “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” (written by Albert Hague and Dr. Seuss), from the original animated television special. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is “two sizes too small,” decides to steal Christmas away from the lovable Whos.
Remember the lovable tv show that as kids we watched every year during the holidays? Now catch The Grinch in a stage production that 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, theatergoers across America have been delighted by this heart-warming musical, which the Gannett papers 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 beautiful sets and costumes inspired by Dr. Seuss’ original book, while the music and book of Mel Marvin and Timothy Mason breathe new life into this timeless story. Embraced by generation after generation, Dr. SEUSS’ HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL is a holiday tradition for audiences of all ages. The 2014 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.
My daughter has now become to LOVE theater and musicals. With her studies as a ballerina at our local dance studio and being a part of a stage play/production – bringing her to Segerstrom Center has been an absolute magical experience. Introducing your child to the theater at a young age is so wonderful for them, just think of the amazing experiences they will have with Segerstrom Center.
