The Grinch Steals Broadway Spotlight

Broadway Tickets to this season’s production of The Grinch are a hot item and although we’ve been enjoying balmy weather here in New York, the Broadway’s winter season is indeed upon us. The Grinch opened Wednesday at the Hilton Theater, spreading the message that the meaning of the Holiday season lies not in the getting of killer gifts but in the holding of hands and communal cheer.

Broadway’s newest diva is a big, green, hairy fella played by Patrick Page who makes his star entrance playing the main role in How the Grinch Stole Christmas. . In Kids and Adults alike whelped in glee at the sight of the all-too-popular villain transporting the Grinch to the Broadway stage, writer Timothy Mason and Composer Mel Marvin stuck closely to the words of Dr. Seuss’ 1957 classic and the visual images of Chuck Jones’ beloved 1966 television adaptation.

Max the Dog is the narrator as the Grinch’s plan to rob the Whos of their holiday unfolds. When the Grinch learns that there is more to the holiday than the getting of gifts, his heart grows “three times they say” and he returns to the Whos and embraces the holiday spirit.
