Sensory Friendly Performance: Dr Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical - Proctors | Kids Out and About Albany

Sensory Friendly Performance: Dr Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical - Proctors

Slight modifications are made by the GRINCH team to the production itself, including: fewer loud noises and flashing lights that may be challenging for some audience members, more consistent levels of audio so no sounds are too jarring, removing some costume pieces which may disguise or alter the appearance of a character, and house lights kept at half throughout the show. While these modifications will be made, the performance is still open to and can be enjoyed by all audiences. During this performance, a designated quiet room will be available for anyone who may need a break from the lights, sounds, or activity of the theatre. The space offers a calm environment with comfortable seating and sensory tools to help guests regulate before returning to enjoy the show. Our staff and volunteers are here to assist you if you’d like to use the room at any time. This room is made possible by Bring on the Spectrum.

THE GRINCH broke box office records for two consecutive years on Broadway during its holiday engagements at the St. James and Hilton theatres in New York. Since then, more than 2.1 million theatre-goers across America have been delighted by this heart-warming holiday musical, which The New York Times praised as “100 times better than any bedtime story” and the Gannett papers hailed as “A genius of a show! A total delight for both kids and adults.”

Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical features the hit songs “You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” (written by Albert Hague and Dr. Seuss) from the original animated series. 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 (John Lee Beatty) and costumes (Robert Morgan) inspired by Dr. Seuss’ original illustrations help transport audiences to the whimsical world of Whoville, while the Music and Book of Mel Marvin and Timothy Mason breathe new life into this timeless story of the true meaning of Christmas. The 2025 production is directed by Matt August and co-directed and choreographed by Bob Richard, based on the original choreography by John DeLuca and originally created by 4-time Tony Award® winning director, Jack O’Brien.
