⭐ DR. SEUSS’S HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL – UK REVIVAL ANNOUNCED ⭐
A UK revival of DR. SEUSS’S HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL has been announced.
Leeds Playhouse is thrilled to announce a spectacular festive treat for 2026: DR. SEUSS’S HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL is coming to town! Following its record-breaking success on Broadway, this brand-new UK production promises to whisk audiences away to the whimsical world of Who-ville for a magical Christmas adventure.
Directed by Leeds Playhouse’s Artistic Director Tom Wright, this dazzling musical bursts with Seussian charm, mischievous humour, and heartwarming spirit. Audiences will join the joyful Whos as they prepare for Christmas, while the scheming Grinch, with a heart “two sizes too small”, plots to steal their holiday cheer. Narrated by his loyal dog Max, this beloved tale reminds us all that Christmas isn’t just about presents and tinsel – it’s about connection and kindness.
A festive treat for all ages, the musical hailed by the New York Times as ‘joyously wicked and funny’ and ‘100 times better than any bedtime story’ is bursting with heart, laughter, and Christmas spirit.
DR. SEUSS’S HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL is announced as part of Artistic Director Tom Wright’s inaugural season at Leeds Playhouse, with a bold and celebratory full season to be revealed soon. The opening programme includes a new production and the first major revival in over a decade of August Wilson’s Fences, co-produced by Leeds Playhouse, Headlong, Lyric Hammersmith Theatre and HOME Manchester.
DR. SEUSS’S HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL features music & book by Mel Marvin and Timothy Mason.
DR. SEUSS’S HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL will play Leeds Playhouse, running from 19th November 2026 – 16th January 2027, with tickets on sale from 4th February 2026.
