How the Grinch Stole Christmas! - the Musical:

This is the New York premiere of a musical based on Dr. Seuss's classic holiday tale, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Shown every year on TV, this story should be unfamiliar to few...but just in case, it's about a nasty fellow (whose name has since become synonymous with cantankerous malevolence) who detests Christmas and decides to steal it one year from his neighbors in Whoville by taking all their decorations and presents. Of course, the true Christmas spirit nonetheless remains, and the Grinch learns an important lesson. This musical version has been seen in various venues around the country.
