The Magnificent 'You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch' | Dr. Seuss' The Grinch Musical Live!

Booboo Stewart As Max Is Truly Amazing. After All, He Was Already A Star As Jay From Disney Descendants So It’s No Wonder He’s So Popular.

[@bjsm1995]

I adore Booboo and im so proud of him! He's super sweet and deserves the world! He's truly very talented and I honestly forgot he was in this

[@RazorRevenge]

I remember him from the Twilight Saga

[@bjsm1995]

@@RazorRevenge I never watched Twilight but I know he was in it. I actually remember him from this band called T-squad

[@lisaschaffel266]

Yes, Boo Boo is very popular, he is a good actor

[@RazorRevenge]

The bump bump at 0:27 is the best thing ever. I don’t know why, but I just love the way Boo Boos legs move.

[@hananarnold]

Many people hate this version but I absolutely love this number

[@BrettB.]

I also love it.

[@alyxwold4974]

For me it's so bad it's intriguing I wouldn't go as far to say it's so bad it's good, but I cant help but be fascinated by how much they messed up and I think it's a crime NBC has been trying to erase it's existence

[@ZoraCatone]

And rightfully so. It's awful.

[@christianryan7207]

Well the "your a mean one mr grinch" song is an absolute classic so I don't blame you.

[@mikeymummy]

"I NAUSIATE EM!" He's not wrong.

[@kaniamia]

Choices were certainly made, here.

[@amangogna68]

Great Christmas musical !

[@thefilmwatcher1216]

I think this number could've been a bit more chaotic and goofy. It feels too contained with them being in this one house. If The Grinch was running around, stealing stuff while someone sang the song in the background and the lights were going crazy, I think that would've been cool. The performances are actually pretty solid here, though.

[@ZoraCatone]

If you want chaotic, I'd highly recommend looking up Stefan Karl's performance. Infinitely better in every possible way.

[@kidsshowfanatic0902]

I’m glad that I recorded this on our PVR when it aired on TV. It’s not the worst but also not the best, I enjoyed it 🙂

[@MalleySimpson]

I actually saw the play version of this with the late Stefan Karl (better known as Robbie Rotten of Lazytown fame) as The Grinch.

[@lydialacey]

how was he? amazing i bet

[@solanoscrossoverproduction3930]

He nailed it, I should know I’ve met him years ago after the show.

[@shannonwynne1613]

So did I!

[@helgifannar90]

I would have loved to see that!! Stefán Karl was one of my favourite actors back home!! Nothing he couldn't do! And the nicest man I've ever met! One of the reasons i got into acting and voice over work when i was younger!

[@YeseniaTheHedgehog]

But it wasn’t Max 😅

[@r4h4al]

Matthew Morrison's so great.

[@vicentehizon6202]

Honestly, this is the most “meh” broadcast of a musical. That doesn’t mean I hate it. The songs are nice, obviously “You’re a Mean One” is the best Seuss Christmas song, BooBoo Stewart does a great job as young Max, and I did love Matthew Morrison’s portrayal, but only half the time. Probably because I enjoy Boris Karloff and Jim Carrey’s versions too much.

[@captainmundy]

AHHH

[@marcusblacknell-andrews1783]

A jazzy Christmas

Prince Dauntless and Jay as Max and Sir Harry as The Grinch A masterpiece

[@ZoraCatone]

Not even.

[@disneyfan9134]

Comparing how each actor does the Grinch the best is like comparing apples to oranges and each one of them plays them a little bit differently. Boris Karloff plays up more of the subtle, cold heartedness of his character. His version of the Grinch doesn’t raise his voice or angrily screams aloud but you can hear the bitterness in his voice and you can feel his anger gradually building up. Jim Carrey plays up more of the flamboyant, energetic and wickedness of his character and we see frequently troll and pull nasty pranks on the Who’s. His version of the Grinch has a more in-your-face, ill mannered attitude but also has a sympathetic and tragic backstory on why he resents the Whos, christmas and why he is the way he is. Benedict Cumberbatch plays the Grinch more like a torture soul and he looks like a character who has been through trauma and has shut himself from anyone in Whoville making the few times where he feels lonely and isolated that much more powerful. Now unlike the other versions, the ending has a twist which I appreciated it. When he does return the gifts to Whoville, he doesn’t immediately go celebrating Christmas with the who’s and everything’s okay, he actually explains his reason why he stole Christmas, apologizes and takes accountability for his wrongful actions. He doesn’t beg for forgiveness. He doesn’t break down and cry. He just slowly walks away and goes back to his cave, feeling like because he stole everyone’s Christmas, he believes he doesn’t deserve to have any friends and to live alone for the rest of his life…that is until Cindy Lou comes over and invites him over for Christmas dinner out of sheer kindness, compassion and forgiveness. When he arrives to the party, instead of getting shamed, booed and kicked out of the party out of rejection and anger, the Whos genuinely welcomed the Grinch with loving and friendly open arms which has been implied that the Whos genuinely forgave the Grinch for stealing their Christmases. Stefan Karl and Patrick Page lean that way at times too but they both also still managed to find the subtle, bitter, grouchiness of the character as well. Matthew Morrison plays up more as the irritable, spiteful crankiness and we see him frequently get angry and lose his temper and he loses his temper a lot in this production.

[@oscar0006]

Matthew Morrison as Grinch is not bad but okay ☺️👍, I know he's no Boris Karloff or Jim Carrey or Stefan Karl Stefanson or Patrick Page or even Benedict Cumberbatch 🥺, but Matthew's Grinch is Cool 😎.

[@sonyfusion1994]

Ok 😂😂😂😂

[@disneyfan9134]

Matthew Morrison is not by any means awful, just sort of miscasted. I know he’s trying but he just doesn’t have that level of “Grinchiness” that Jim Carrey, Boris Karloff, Patrick Page or Stefan Karl have. However despite that, I do like seeing different actors bring their own take on the character and the very different interpretations of the Grinch with the horror movie being the only exception in my opinion.

[@SeahawksClassic1990]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@Alevermor]

For anyone who’s seen the staged version. Is it the same? Or a little more exciting? Ha.

Again I shall say, I actually loved it and quite enjoyed it. It seems the haters should keep in mind that they should be grateful the production had a chance to be taken place given the situation at the time. 💚🤎❤️🤍

[@brianaustin5467]

Why should they be grateful if they do not like it, and do not intend to watch it?

[@dcemerald70]

If they don’t watch it they’re missing out, if they don’t like it then don’t make us miserable about it.

@@dcemerald70 Probably the most arrogant and intolerant comment to appear here for a while. Who elected you the arbiter of taste? If someone holding different views to you causes you to be depressed then you may benefit from some counselling.
