Dr Seuss’s How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical

January 8, 2027 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Step into the magical world of Who-ville this Christmas!

Leeds Playhouse presents Dr Seuss’s beloved festive tale; How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical. Following its Broadway success, this brand-new UK production, directed by the Playhouse’s Artistic Director Tom Wright, is packed full of Seussian charm and humour. 

As the residents of Who-ville cheerfully prepare for the festive season, the scheming Grinch is determined to spoil their Christmas celebrations by any means necessary.

Narrated by his loyal dog Max, the story follows the misadventures of the Grinch, a grouchy, green recluse with a heart “two sizes too small” as he tries to steal Christmas from the joyful Whos. But as the magic of the season unfolds, the Grinch discovers that Christmas is about much more than presents and decorations.

A festive treat for all ages, this musical hailed by the New York Times as ‘joyously wicked and funny’ is bursting with heart, laughter, and Christmas spirit.

THE FUN BEGINS BEFORE YOU’VE REACHED YOUR SEAT

The festive fun starts one hour before every performance, so make sure you arrive early to explore festive Grinch-inspired activities* throughout Leeds Playhouse. There’s plenty to discover! Grab an ice cream, treat yourself to something green and soak up the festive atmosphere before settling in for the show.
