About

DR. SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL is the record-setting Broadway holiday sensation which features the hit songs "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" and "Welcome Christmas" from the original animated special. 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 and helps remind us of the true meaning of the holiday season. Don't miss what The New York Times calls "AN EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE! 100 times better than any bedtime story."

    Great family musical

    by Catherine18880 on 12/25/23Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Great acting, very uplifting and sweet. The super star was Cindy Lou Who - she was amazing, as was the Grinch. Such fun.

    The Grinchy Review

    by The Grinch on 12/25/23Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas at the Cadillac Theater was mediocre, at best. For being a musical based on a very popular movie, we hoped the songs would be recognizable, but most were not. The sound quality was terrible as it was hard to understand what the characters were saying. Way overrated, and overpriced for the quality of the production. If you’re thinking of a last minute purchase for Christmas…save your money.

    Great family entertainment

    by Bammy on 12/25/23Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The actors were amazing , the costumes were great and colorful, the sets were beautifully designed, we enjoyed the sing along audience participation. The children were delighted and enjoyed the whole experience. The Grinch actor was outstanding- he did a fabulous job .

    How to stretch 30 minutes to 90 minutes

    by Doodles on 12/23/23Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I was so excited for this. So nostalgic. Spent more than it was worth. The kids worked really hard at their parts! It just lacked pizzazz. Spoiler…. Old Max, Young Max yikes to both. Glad they used some of the original music but even that lacked the sparkle. In this case, watch the original at home with popcorn! The three stars are for the kids in the play.

    Great show..

    by Clark on 12/23/23Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    This was a fantastic show and our daughters first broadway play! She loved it. It was perfect start to the week of Christmas. However, the only reason not for 5 stars was the experience of the theatre with kids under the suggested age of 5+ was very distracting/noisey! There were A LOT of toddlers/kids well under 5 and so it just made for a different experience than we were expecting…we were hoping to hear and focus more since tickets aren’t cheap.

    Grinch Musical

    by Sue on 12/23/23Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I did not enjoy this musical, I feel they could have done a much better job with the set, very plain, eaten in whosville. I thought the songs were sad and depressing. Didn’t understand the dog as a narrator, didn’t know it was a dog. Very disappointing.

    Meh - how do you screw up the dog

    by Brian on 12/23/23Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Had an amazing time!

    by KS on 12/22/23Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Took my mom to this show, it was a surprise while she was visiting me in Chicago. We had orchestra seating with great views, interactive with fake snow and confetti. Everything about the show was great! The entertainers, music, staging, and crowd engagement. Kids and adults were engaged the entire time. I had read some reviews stating they were disappointed that the who’s and grinch did not look like they expected….this is not the movie and shouldn’t be expected to mirror exactly! Costumes were wonderful. Would definitely go again!

    by Anonymous on 12/19/12Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    My boyfriend and I had a very enjoyable date watching this musical :-) The parts where they incorporated the audience was great especially when you could hear that the kids were enjoying it.

    Awesome :)

    by ML1990 on 12/18/12Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I am 22 and I went with my mom, 54, and we loved it! It was just enough of the Grinch's storyline and the costumes were awesome! Also, Cindy Lou was amazing and the people who played all the characters played them so well and sounded just like the original characters.
