At Old Globe, 'The Lorax' brings Dr. Seuss' environmental saga to vivid life

The San Diego Union-Tribune: If you go see “Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax” expecting an environment-minded variation on the Old Globe’s “Grinch” musical, get ready for a darker shade of green.

Both shows feature lime-hued lunkheads who prove a little slow to face the error of their ways. But “The Lorax,” a British import that just landed at the Globe as part of a two-city U.S. debut, is a slightly edgier piece of work that plays out in an often less cartoon-y mood than its much-loved predecessor.
