The musical follows the original story by Dr. Seuss, so you likely already know the story. The Grinch lives up in a mountain above Whoville. All the Who’s in Whoville love to celebrate Christmas and to spread happiness and joy. One year, the Grinch decides to steal Christmas so that the Who’s won’t be able to celebrate. He devises a plan to steal all the presents and Christmas decorations in the village on Christmas Eve. The next day, he is astounded to see that the Who’s still celebrate the holiday despite the fact that they do not have any presents. Moved by the Who’s desire to still celebrate Christmas, the Grinch returns all the presents to the Who’s and is even invited as the guest of honor at the dinner celebration. This wonderful story now has fantastic songs in this musical adaptation.
