Get ready for a heartwarming tale of a grumpy green creature and a record-breaking musical! The Grinch has stolen the show, quite literally, at the Washington Pavilion in Sioux Falls!
Dr. Seuss' beloved story, 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical', has not only entertained audiences but also shattered records. With ticket sales surpassing a whopping $1 million, it has become the Pavilion's highest-grossing Broadway event ever! But here's where it gets controversial... the previous record holder was none other than the magical 'Aladdin', which visited the Pavilion in 2023.
Darrin Smith, the president and CEO of Washington Pavilion Management, Inc., shared his excitement, stating, "This achievement showcases the incredible support for Broadway in our community. Families are embracing live theatre as a holiday tradition, and we're thrilled to witness this growing enthusiasm."
And this is the part most people miss... the Pavilion has responded to the overwhelming demand by adding an extra show date! Now, the Grinch will grace the stage for a total of 10 performances from December 23rd to 27th.
So, if you're in Sioux Falls and haven't experienced this magical musical yet, now's your chance!
Here's a fun fact: The Washington Pavilion's top five shows, as of December 2023, include some Broadway classics like 'Aladdin', 'Jersey Boys', 'The Book of Mormon', 'Les Misérables', and the recently added 'Beetlejuice'.
