Beloved children’s book “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” comes to life this holiday season on NBC with a two-hour production of Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical, filmed from the Troubadour Theatre in London, England.

According to NBC’s press release, “Matthew Morrison stars as the curmudgeonly Grinch. He is joined by Denis O’Hare as old Max, Booboo Stewart as young Max and talented young newcomer Amelia Minto as Cindy-Lou Who. Producers have also assembled an ensemble of top musical theater actors from London’s West End to complete the cast.”

“Dr. Seuss is an indelible part of all of our lives and we’re thrilled to bring a stage production of ‘The Grinch Musical!’ to our audience,” said Doug Vaughan, Executive Vice President, Special Programs, NBC Entertainment in a statement. “This is a perfect addition to our annual holiday program traditions and a telecast the entire family will enjoy.”

“In what has been an extremely challenging year for us all, it is an honor to bring some holiday cheer into viewers’ homes this December,” Morrison said. “My wish is to bring some Who-ville magic to this holiday season and, while the pandemic presents some challenges in bringing a stage production to life, we are excited to present a unique version of this seasonal favorite in a new creative and imaginative way.”

The story is about a reclusive Grinch who is plotting from his cave on Mount Crumpit overlooking Who-ville on how best to steal Christmas from the Whos. On Christmas Eve, he disguises himself as Santa Claus and hooks up his loyal dog, Max, as a reindeer, to sneak into Who-ville and steal all the gifts and decorations. But he is quite surprised to see that the Whos don’t seem to care that much and celebrate the holiday with joy and love without presents.

The musical’s book and lyrics are by Tim Mason with music by Mel Marvin. It features songs “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” (by Albert Hague & Dr. Seuss). The staging is by award-winning director Max Webster, directed for television by BAFTA winner Julia Knowles, with additional script material by BAFTA-winning writer Simon Nye, and featuring sets by acclaimed designer Peter Bingemann.

Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical airs Wednesday, December 9 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
