I thought that since we showed Disney some love about the Christmas events about to start that I would do the same for Universal. Universal has announced that the world renowned Mannheim Steamroller will be back for this holiday season, along with the mean and heart troubled GRINCH!!
The powerful, instrumental supergroup will perform eight nights in December, up from last year’s six concerts at Music Plaza at Universal Studios. The large crowds last year promted Universal to add more dates. Mannheim will be on stage Dec. 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22 and 23.
The Studios will also host the Macy’s Holiday Parade, featuring floats and balloons direct from the traditional event in New York. The daily parade will run Dec. 1-Jan. 1. (Universal’s Superstar Parade, introduced earlier this year, will continue its regular schedule.)
Holiday versions of the Barney show and the Blues Brothers street concert will be presented, as well as many holiday character meet and greets.
Next door at Islands of Adventure, the live “Grinchmas Wholiday Spectacular” returns, featuring Mannheim Steamroller music. IOA will feature a Seuss character breakfast and Grinch meet-and-greets. The Grinch himself will be available for holiday photos and the "snow" will be returning to both parks this year to add to the merriment!!
Holiday programming, which wraps up Jan. 1, is included with regular Universal admission to either park.
Happy Holidays!!
Grinchmas!!
