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.

For what it was, it was a cute night out. All 4 acts were entertaining. The sweets...were good but nothing special at all. For the Goldstar price... it was an enjoyable evening

4 One Acts, 3 of which were good fun. Most of the scripts were heavily peppered with entertainment industry jokes. I would give it 2.5 Stars if there were such a thing. None of these plays are absolute must sees. I'm being generous because they did get plenty of laughs, and everyone had a great time.
An older red-haired actress was a real scene stealer in her small death scene. She was tossed about in various positions from floor to couch to laundry hamper like a rag doll. She was crazy-flexible for her age. Made you think she must've been a Romanian gymnast when she was 18.
We were served homemade desserts before the start of the show and at the intermission. That was a nice touch. The chocolate-cashew cupcakes were amazing.

Shorts and Sweets was the perfect way to end the week off! (I went on a Friday night). After a long week of work, work, work, it was a great way to unwind. All four acts were written with zest and color, and all the actors were incredibly charismatic and entertaining! I highly recommend this show for anyone who is looking for a not only great entertainment, but some true talent.
The inside jokes written according to L.A. & the entertainment industry are so accurate! I was literally falling out of my chair laughing.
Loved, loved, loved it!!!
If you haven't already, go see it before the run ends!

When all the sane people have left after seeing a performance of Stop Kiss or Treefall, Rogue Machine continues the fun. It's a night of decadence and delight and you can only catch it for three weeks.
