Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
As the residents of Who-ville cheerfully prepare for the festive season, the scheming Grinch is determined to spoil their Christmas celebrations by any means necessary.
Narrated by his loyal dog Max, the story follows the misadventures of the Grinch, a grouchy, green recluse with a heart “two sizes too small” as he tries to steal Christmas from the joyful Whos. But as the magic of the season unfolds, the Grinch discovers that Christmas is about much more than presents and decorations.
A festive treat for all ages, this musical hailed by the New York Times as ‘joyously wicked and funny’ is bursting with heart, laughter, and Christmas spirit.
