The Old Globe is doing the most this holiday season, and honestly? Good. Three shows, two theaters, and one of them has been selling out every December since before some of us were old enough to care about theater. Here\u2019s what\u2019s on.<\/p>\n

Twenty-Nine Years of Who-ville and Counting<\/p>\n

Dr. Seuss\u2019s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! keeps coming back because San Diego keeps showing up for it \u2013 and year twenty-nine is no different. <\/p>\n

\"Dr.<\/p>\n

The Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage becomes a full snow-covered Who-ville, right down to the last can of Who-hash, and the songs hit the way they always do. \u201cYou\u2019re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.\u201d \u201cWelcome, Christmas (Fah Who Doraze).\u201d You already know the words. Bring the kids, bring the parents, bring anyone who could use a reminder that the holidays are actually great.<\/p>\n

The Same Story, Now in Spanish \u2013 and Only for Four Nights<\/p>\n

\u00a1C\u00f3mo el Grinch rob\u00f3 la Navidad! is the same show on the same stage, adapted into Spanish by Katya Mar\u00eda Ojeda Iturbide and Luis Gerardo Villegas, and it runs for four nights only. That\u2019s it. If this one is on your list, don\u2019t sit on it. One note for families: everyone three and up needs their own ticket, and under-threes aren\u2019t admitted.<\/p>\n
