You may have seen the cartoon version and/or the movie version with Jim Carrey, but have you seen Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas The Musical on stage? Because seeing it come to life on stage with all those incredible costumes and stage sets takes it to a whole new level.
This week, we’re giving away 4 tickets to see How The Grinch Stole Christmas the Musical at the Walton Arts Center on opening night — Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at 7pm.
This is one of those shows the whole family will enjoy seeing live on stage. It might just make your heart grow three sizes!
Here’s a sneak peek of the Grinch in action:
ABOUT THE SHOW:
The Grinch 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, more than 2.1 million theater-goers across America have been delighted by this heart-warming holiday musical, which The New York Times praised as “100 times better than any bedtime story” and 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 the hit songs “You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” (written by Albert Hague and Dr. Seuss) from the original animated series. Max the Dog narrates while the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is “two sizes too small,” decides to steal Christmas away from the holiday-loving Whos.
*SENSORY-FRIENDLY PERFORMANCE:
The Thursday matinee will be a sensory-friendly performance designed to create a more comfortable and inclusive theatrical experience for individuals on the autism spectrum or those with other sensitivities. All are welcome to attend this performance where several slight modifications will be made including:
- Fewer loud noises and flashing lights
- House lights kept at half throughout the show
- Not using costume pieces that disguise or alter the appearance of a character
- Relaxed house rules on noise and movement
- A quiet area for those who need to take a break during the performance

I am not sure what it is about the Grinch but he just makes me smile. To see the transformation of how his heart changed has to be what Jesus sees when we go from a lost sheep to one of his ❤️
