Production Photos
Orange County Register
"Without question the top musical number is [the Grinch’s] one-man 'One of a Kind.' Performed in front of a curtain of shimmering green tinsel it’s [a] Broadway razzamatazz-y of a production number."
League of Cincinnati Theatres
"The ensemble cast, embodying Whoville’s exuberant residents, brims with energy. Their colorful, textured costumes and dynamic choreography enliven the bustling town, especially during high-energy group numbers."
DC Theater Arts
"Xavier McKnight is Young Max, the lovable and faithful dog. McKnight is the sweet to [Grinch actor James] Schultz’s sour, and the two drive the show with song and dance, and commentary from Stewart’s Old Max."
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"The list of songs is highlighted by the ever popular 'You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,' sung in a marvelously gravelly voice by [Old Max Actor W. Scott] Stewart, and the bouncy 'Welcome Christmas,' performed by the citizens of Whoville."
Maryland Theatre Guide
"The Grinch isn’t the only one whose heart grew three sizes after listening to [Cindy Lou Who actor Sofie] Nesanelis’ rendition of 'Santa for a Day.'"
BroadwayWorld
"James Schultz hammed it up, appropriately, as the titular Grinch, and genuinely seemed to enjoy engaging the audience, who clearly adored his portrayal."
