About this Article

Broadway in Chicago's "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical" has everything a child could want. Inspired by the 1957 book by Theodor Seuss Geisel — and faithful to his distinctive illustrations — the show is bright, boisterous and ebullient. And with a running time of 90 minutes, it concludes just about the time pint-size audience members start to get restless.
