The Grinch Stole Christmas Makes Its Musical Debut In The UAE
Prepare for a musical delight, as the much-loved festive romp arrives at Zabeel Theatre
Art For All & DXB Live is bringing Christmas cheer to the UAE this festive season, with a musical production of Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas at Zabeel Theatre, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray from December 20-24.
A much-loved family favourite, the story is narrated by Max the Dog, who follows the mean and scheming Grinch as he tries to steal Christmas away from the festive and friendly Whos. Featuring jolly songs including “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas,” it’s simply impossible to leave the show with a heart “two sizes too small.”
Acclaimed by The New York Times as ‘100 times better than any bedtime story,’ the musical is produced by Olivier Award-winning Paul Taylor-Mills, who was acknowledged in 2022 for his production of Elf the Musical that sold-out in Dubai. Bringing Dr. Seuss’s whimsical world to life is a talented cast from London’s West End, and The Grinch himself is played by Dominic Andersen, whose career includes highlights such as The Rocky Horror Show, Mamma Mia, and Elf, alongside TV appearances in The Crown and Robin Hood.
“We are delighted to expand into the theatre space following the success of our previous
live entertainment events across various genres,” said Khalid Al Hammadi, SVP of DXB
Live. “The Grinch musical, with its world-class talent and production, promises to be a
magical experience for children and families, and we are excited to bring this beloved story
to the UAE.”
The production arrives at Zabeel Theatre, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, from Friday December 20 at 7pm and runs until December 24 at 3pm.
