The Old Globe Grinch Performance Has Turned The Theatre Into A Snow-Covered Whoville

The Old Globe Theatre has once again transformed into the snow-covered ‘Whoville’ for the performance of Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a wonderful, whimsical musical based upon the classic Dr. Seuss book. The family favorite features the songs “This Time of Year,” “Santa for a Day,” and “Fah Who Doraze,” the delightful carol from the popular animated version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

The Old Globe Grinch a San Diego Tradition for 20+ Years

The show runs through December 31st, so you have time to see it – maybe even a couple of times! – before the holidays are through. But don’t wait too long…this is a popular San Diego tradition and shows will sell out.

The Grinch will be performed on Saturday, December 10 at 10:00 a.m. for children on the autism spectrum and their families, as well as other families with special needs that may appreciate the welcoming and supportive environment this performance provides.

Children under the age of three will be admitted to 10:30 a.m. performances only, which are open to all ages. At the 10:30 a.m. performances only, children under the age of two are free, but must occupy the same seat and sit on the lap of a parent or guardian in attendance. Regardless of age, each audience member, including babes in arms, must have a ticket to be admitted into the theatre.

Don’t miss the Old Globe Grinch performance – it’s a must-see San Diego tradition!

See you there!
