This just in, theater lovers:
Broadway’s #1 Holiday hit comes to the Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre
November 26 - December 28, 2008(Boston, MA June 11, 2008) - Running Subway Productions along with 3-time Tony Award® winning director, Jack O’Brien will bring the critically acclaimed, record-breaking Broadway production Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical to the Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre during the 2008 holiday season. The classic, whimsical tale will enchant audiences for 66 performances in Boston, Wednesday, November 26 through Sunday, December 28.
The Grinch has broken box office attendance records for two consecutive years on Broadway during its limited holiday engagements at the St. James (2007) and Hilton (2006) theatres in New York. Thousands of families have been delighted by this heart-warming musical, which The New York Times praises as “100 times better than any bedside story.”
Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical features the hit songs “You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” from the original animated series. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is “two sizes too small,” decides to steal Christmas away from 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 Timothy Mason breathe new life into this timeless story of the true meaning of Christmas.
