Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical will be this year's holiday season offering at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden. It will run December 13-30.

With book and lyrics by Timothy Mason and music by Mel Marvin, the show, conceived and originally directed by Jack O'Brien and choreographed by John DeLuca, brings to the stage Dr. Seuss's classic children's story about a mean creature that tries to ruin Christmas for the denizens of Whoville.

The 2018 production is directed by Matt August and choreographed by Bob Richard, based on the original material. The production features sets by John Lee Beatty and costumes by Robert Morgan.

Casting will be announced at a later date.
