Great show
by KKL on 12/3/24Fox Theatre Detroit - DetroitRating: 4 out of 5The matinee on Saturday 11/30 was great! The "Grinch"was expertly and hilariously performed!!!! The sets were incredible, and they did an awesome job of preserving some of the critical Seuss lines from the book! The Fox Theater in Detroit is INCREDIBLY beautiful, and the merch, beverages and snacks were excellent! All of the staff were very friendly and helpful! Great holiday spirit throughout!!!!!
The agents at the Box Office/Will Callwere working hard, and went above and beyond to help guests. Might have been helpful to have more than 2 people working though, as it was a very busy holiday weekend.
The only drawbacks: The "Max"character is a plain, brown dog in the Seuss book, and on all the marketing materials, merchandise, etc. BUT the "Max"character in this show was wearing a black and white costume, and looked way more like a skunk with this huge bushy tail. The "senior Max"that served as the narrator was nearly impossible to hear, and for most of the show, one could hear about 1/4 of his lines. Perhaps there was a mic issue with him, but there were several parts throughout the show where there seemed to be an imbalance between the instrumental music and the vocals, and the vocals were overwhelmed by the music.
All in all, it was a wonderful, festive show for the holiday weekend and we had a great time!!!!!
