Our thoughts might be on this year's festivities, but a blockbuster of a show has been announced for Christmas 2019.
Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical is coming to The Lowry next December.
The record-setting New York Christmas sensation is starting its first UK Tour at the Salford Quays theatre.
The show broke box office records for two consecutive years on Broadway. Since then, more than two million people across America have been thrilled by the heart-warming musical.
Featuring the hit songs 'You’re A Mean One Mr Grinch' and 'Welcome Christmas', Max the Dog narrates the show, 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 and costumes inspired by Dr. Seuss’ original illustrations' promise to 'transport audiences to the whimsical world of Whoville, breathing life into this timeless story and conjuring the true meaning of Christmas'.
Christmas 2018
The production is based on the show originally created by three-time Tony Award winning director, Jack O’Brien.
The announcement of the tour comes as the new movie of The Grinch – starring the voices of Benedict Cumberbatch and Angela Lansbury – is enchanting a new generation of fans.
