Childrens Theatre of Charleston
The Official Children's Theatre of West Virginia
MTI Musical
For decades, the story of the mean, green Mister Grinch discovering the joy of Christmas has delighted both readers and viewers. And now, you have the opportunity to bring Dr. Seuss’ adored classic to your stage.
Based on the iconic animated film and beloved children’s book, Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! features a book and lyrics by Timothy Mason and music by Mel Marvin. This duo expands on the timeless story, adding new songs that are bound to have everyone tapping their feet.
With a heart “two sizes too small,” the Grinch despises the annual Christmas festivities of Who-ville from a solitary distance. Fed up, he carries out a plan to stop them once and for all, only to learn a lesson about opening his heart to the real meaning of Christmas.
