All four of us that attended thoroughly loved the Grinch musical. It was a thrill to see John Laroquette! He was wonderful, as was the entire cast. The sets we great. It really was a lot of fun.

First off, we had amazing seats. First row of the Mezzanine. a little stage right, but still a great view. I had bought tickets for my younger brother and I. The story of the Grinch was told from an older Max. The energy in the first song really set off the mood for the whole show. It was funny and had a good deal of audience participation. Well crafted and imaginative sets. We really enjoyed it.

I took a friend from out of town. We loved it so much that I will probably go back with my kids and husband. The costumes and make up were amazing and the actors were great--well cast.

The show was reeally good - that grinch was fabulous!!! but for the price it was a little short - I felt it was a good length for children (the target audience) but the price was a bit too high.

The Grinch was wonderful though expensive for 1 1/2 hour show (no intermission). I liked that the sets were designed to match the artwork from the book. At one point the audience is encouraged to sing along with "You're a mean one Mr. Grinch". Funny throughout to keep adults entertained. If your kids like the book they will love this production. If you sit in the orchestra be prepared for lots of confetti.

A must see for the entire family. The cast,
costumes and sets were great.

It's was an uplifting and "feel good" play,
timed perfectly.

A great way to start the holiday season.

The first half of this musical is really boring. The songs were very bland. I think it is made for kids under 10 and should be advertised as such. I was very disappointed. I have 4 adult children and they grew up loving the cartoon and then the movie. We expected something more like the movie so that adults would be entertained along with kids.

If you loved the cartpoon asa kid-==loved the movie as an adult---you will LOVE the play--How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Told from the perspective of the aging Max The Dog, played by John Larroquette, he tells the enitre story, just like the cartoon--the costiumes and special effects are fantastic--Theres Snow, and at the end--confetti--it runs about 80 minutes-- would recommend for everyone-the kids will love it --Would go and see it again!!!--Hint!!! Hint!!!

A wonderful show filled with joy and happiness. Show exceeded my expectations and is the perfect holiday musical to take your family out to see. brings the season to full blast and makes one remember the happiness that one should during this time of year. An amazing act that proved to be groundbreaking and innovative. the set design was absolutely stunning, conforming to today's technology and reacting in a beautiful manner.

Favorite moment: The Grinch singled out a few audience members and poked fun at them. Everyone started laughing since it was unexpected. @

This was definitely a "bring the kids to watch" show. Most of the theatre was children of various ages, but there was humor for the older crowd as well. I was surprised that it was a straight show, but it was only an hour and change as it sped through the story we are all familiar with. The idea of having the dog Max narrate the story was kind of humorous and I felt that the guy playing the young Max was pretty spazzy and I really liked him and he had a great voice, I was disappointed in John Larroquette he seemed to really not want to do the role and it made him completely unbelievable as a character.

Other than that, the show was great and had a few songs you would expect to hear when seeing the Grinch.

The show was delightful and the costumes were fantastic. They got it all into a single act so the kids were actually able to sit through the whole thing. Very well done and enjoyable.

I went on a date to the evening show did not expect so many kids. However the play was great over all. The sets were slightly understated and it was very short compared to other but it was cute to say the least. If I had to do it over again I would have probably taken my nephews and neices to it instead of a date.

It was nice but I think it needed a little more from the movie. The ending was too quick. But the Grinch was awesome.
