How The Grinch Stole Christmas Reviews

Teresa Wolfe from Dallas, Texas

WOULD HAVE LEFT...

We saw this at the Winspear in Dallas. If our seats hadn’t been right in the center of about 40 seats, or if there had been an intermission, our family would have definitely left before it was over. The Whos’ singing was almost unbearable. I looked over to see my daughter (who loves stage productions) with her fingers in her ears during one of the numbers. Some of the scenery was fun, but so much of it was lacking and forgettable. I applauded at the end, but it was simply out of relief that is was finally over. :( So disappointed that we spent the time and money to attend this show.

DISAPPOINTED:(

The actual Grinch song wasn’t even played. Max looked nothing like Max. The Grinch didn’t look anything like the Grinch except for his hands. Where was the T traditional Grinch BIG belly?? We also would like to know why the Grinch had NO Grinch face? He didn’t seem as mean as the traditional Grinch and the Whoville people, didn’t have anything really distinct, including the little girl, she didn’t look like the traditional Cindy. I wanted to surprise my daughter, instead I’m deflated! How the Grinch Stole Christmas alright, more like, How Belk Stole Our Money & Time! First time watching a play in Charlotte, don’t think I’ll be coming back any toy soon.

THE WORST!

This show was HORRIBLE. It is, without a doubt, the worst live performance I have ever seen. I would sit through Tarzan (the 2nd worst live show I have ever seen) a 100 times before I would watch this mess again. The musical score is forgettable as are the sets. The elder dog character is poorly done. I could not believe the amount of people that were complaining about the show upon its completion. People were walking out and my 6 year old begged to leave. What a mess! I would not recommend this show to anyone. Great dinner at Becco afterwards though.

PARENTS BEWARE!

We took a family vacation to Nashville in hopes of creating a magical Christmas holiday. Little did we know that this show would destroy the magic of Christmas for our two boys. This show has a scene that reveals that parents are actually Santa. In the middle of the show my child said "You are really Santa?".This show took away the magic of Santa for my kids.

SO BORING!

Maybe one of the worst shows I’ve ever been to.... very expensive and not worth the money.

MY EARS HURT

I’m not the biggest fan of musicals, but my wife really wanted to see this. She wanted to leave almost immediately. The sound levels are horrible. The cast was way too high pitched and the horns drowned everything out and gave my wife a headache. I couldn’t make out any lyrics, just a bunch of high pitched noises.

HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL PRODUCTION

I couldn’t believe how much we paid for what it was. We got the cheapest seats and it was still $88 each. The show was boring overall. Was expecting a lot more for what we paid. I honestly zoned out for most of it and was relieved when it was over.
