    Dr. Seuss' the Grinch Musical
    In hindsight. I made the correct decision not to watch this with the little ones.

    This was a tedious tiresome mess. I soon realised that I made a mistake putting this on.

    Dr Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a short book which was turned into a charming half hour cartoon.

    It was then turned into two full length bloated movies. This stage musical remade as a television special is a crashing bore.

    Like other inferior musicals. It is full of drab songs and flat dance routines. Like they were a badly fitted suit bought off the peg.

    An older Max the dog (Denis O'Hare) narrates the story of the Grinch (Matthew Morrison.) He hated Christmas and despised the Whos of Whoville. They loved Christmas.

    Many years ago, the Grinch with the help of a younger Max decides to steal all the Christmas presents. Even though Cindy-Lou Who tries to be nice to the Grinch.

    Morrison struggles with his interpretation of the Grinch. This is a stinker.
