Look out, Columbus — this winter, the Grinch is arriving at the Palace Theatre to steal Christmas with a Broadway production of "Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical" from Dec. 3-8.

Since the character's conception in 1957 with the children's book, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!," the green furry grouch has undergone several iterations, most recently with an onscreen animated adaptation in 2018.

On the stage, the musical has broken box-office records during its run on Broadway, originally created by three-time Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien.

Attendees can look forward to being transported into the whimsical world of Whoville through an immersive set and eye-catching costumes, and enjoy familiar holiday tunes like "You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch."

There will be a total of nine shows available during its run at the Palace Theatre.
