The musical, which The New York Times calls “100 times better than any bedtime story,” includes the hit songs “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas.” The Grinch’s faithful companion Max the Dog acts as the story’s narrator as the holiday hater with a heart “two sizes too small,” carries out his vengeful plan on the unsuspecting residents of Whoville.
