About this adventure
First Stage, one of the nation's premier theaters for young audiences, celebrates the holiday season with Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical at the intimate Todd Wehr Theater. Featuring beloved songs like 'You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch' and 'Welcome Christmas,' this heartwarming production brings Dr. Seuss's classic storybook world vividly to life. Audiences follow the scheming, green Grinch, his loyal dog Max, and the cheerful Whos of Whoville as they discover that the true spirit of Christmas cannot be bought in stores. Blending accomplished professional adult actors with gifted youth performers from First Stage's Theater Academy, the 90-minute show inspires children with themes of empathy, redemption, and community warmth.
