Season 1 Review: It really feels like they were going for a zany, over-the-top vibe to match the Seussian weirdness driving this story, and while the set design and costumes got there, the performances, songs, and blocking didn’t quite make it. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Grinch Musical! certainly didn't earn its exclamation point, or do anything to make a cranky critic's too-small heart grow one size, much less three. So while it's a bit tired, perhaps, to say it in rhyme, this Grinch, alas, wasn't worth the time. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A pelvic-thrusting, bad-punning, screeching version of the green curmudgeon was not what anyone wanted or needed in 2020.

Season 1 Review: Queue up the original 1966 Grinch special, or even one of the two movies before even considering Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical! You’ll never see the Grinch the same way after watching this mess. Read full review
