Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas

So for this six weeks, I went to see How the Grinch Stole Christmas at the Pantages Theatre because I was just really in the holiday mood. Also because that was my favorite Dr. Seuss book besides the one about green eggs and ham. That one is undefeatable. I always seem to go off-topic somehow but since I realize it, it shouldn't be that bad. Okay, so the Grinch was definitely the BEST character in the whole play. Well, obviously since he's completely necessary as the main character, but the way he was portrayed and everything made him even cooler than the book or movie ever could have. The make-up people must be crazy talented because they actually made him all green and hairy and I could not even tell that used to be a human if the program didn't have a picture next to him. The sets at Pantages are always awesome, and this time was no different. Except I didn't understand the big metal thing on stage during Rent but then I would be straying away from the topic again and we don't want that. The only problem I really had with this play was that everything was too pink. For some reason, the designers and costumers made everything some shade of red or pink. It was strange since it felt more like it was for Valentine's Day than Christmas. Ha, imagine how funny that would be: How the Grinch Stole Valentine's Day. Also, a bit of the dancing was off a little but some of the actors were only ten-years-old and they could dance better than me so I probably shouldn't say anything. I really enjoyed watching this anyways since there were so many little kids there in the audience and they let out the funniest reactions to everything. There was even a sing-a-long at the end for them. The performance was really cute and the lighting was amazing. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. They even timed songs with the little lights surrounding the stage and the beginning had this cool little sparkly thing that made it seem like it was a city, but it wasn't. If that made any sense.
