Nate Holden Performing Arts Center (Los Angeles, CA)
Rated 3.6 by 97 members who went.
One of the most produced musicals in America, Crowns explores the lives of the "hat queens," six women in the South whose stories of love, loss, identity and sisterhood are woven into the hats that crown their heads and the songs that speak their truth. Based on an acclaimed book, Crowns captures the thrill of self-expression with a series of intimate musical portraits.

This Broadway hit musical, based on the beloved holiday tale, features the classic tunes "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" and "Welcome Christmas." The production stars John Larroquette (Night Court) as the narrator "Old Max" and Stefan Karl (Nick Jr.'s Lazy Town) as The Grinch. Magnificent sets and costumes inspired by Dr. Seuss' original illustrations help transport audiences to the whimsical world of Whoville, breathing new life into this timeless story of the true meaning of the Holiday Season.
