How the Grinch Stole Christmas Back on at St. James; Perfs Restart 11/23

There is joy in Whoville. Sidelined by the stagehands strike since November 10, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas is coming back to Broadway. The musical adaptation of the beloved holiday tale will restart performances at the St. James Theatre on Friday, November 23 at 11AM.

Grinch producers were granted an injunction after appealing to a New York Supreme Court judge earlier today. Jujamcyn Theatres, which owns and operates the St. James Theatre, had barred the production from restarting earlier in the week despite the fact that the show had a different contract from the other 27 Broadway productions affected by the strike.

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas stars Patrick Page as The Grinch, Rusty Ross as Young Max, Ed Dixon as Old Max, Aaron Galligan-Stierle as JP Who, Tari Kelly as Mama Who, Jan Neuberger as Grandma Who and Caroline London and Athena Ripka alternating in the role of Cindy Lou Who.

Matt August directs the show, which was originally conceived and directed by Tony winner Jack O'Brien at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. Book and lyrics are by Timothy Mason, with music by Mel Marvin.

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which opened on November 9, plays 15 performances a week, including eight performances on weekends. It is scheduled to run at the St. James through January 6, 2008.
