The mean green one takes over the Playhouse for Christmas. How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical — Dr Seuss’s tale of the Grinch, the Whos and one very patient dog — is Leeds Playhouse’s big festive production, running in the Quarry Theatre right through to mid-January.

The long run means plenty of school-holiday matinees, and the Playhouse is a short walk from the bus station and Kirkgate Market.
Leeds Playhouse (Quarry Theatre), Thursday 19 November – Saturday 16 January. Tickets and times: Leeds Playhouse.
