Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical, the critically acclaimed record-breaking Broadway production is now in its L.A. premiere engagement for the holidays at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood.
To my surprise, more adults than children showed up to Tuesday night's performance and they seemed to be having a great time, booing and hissing when Mr. Grinch came on stage.
Thousands of families have been delighted by this heart-warming musical which The New York Times praised as "100 times better than any bedside story." Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas features the hit songs "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" and "Welcome Christmas" from the original animates series.
Max the dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is "two sizes too small" decides to steal Christmas away from the Holiday loving Whos. Magnificent sets and costumes inspired by Dr. Seuss' original illustrations help transport audiences to the whimsical world of Whoville, while the Music and Book of Mel Marvin and Tim Mason breathe new life into this timeless story of the true meaning of Christmas.
John Larroquette is probably best known for his portrayal of Dan Fielding on the long running NBC sitcome, Night Court. Larroquette won four consecutive Emmys for that role. His numerous television credits include Boston Legal, The West Wing, Law & Order, House, Chuck and many others. Films include Stripes, Richie Rich, Altered States and Blind Date. His stage work began in the mid 1970's in Los Angeles and he has been seen in Enter Laughing, Long Day's Journey into Night and Endgame.
