Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a wonderful, whimsical musical based upon the classic Dr. Seuss book. Back for its 26th incredible year, the family favorite features the songs “Santa for a Day,” “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” and “Welcome, Christmas (Fah Who Doraze),” the delightful carol from the popular animated version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Celebrate the holidays as the Old Globe Theatre is once again transformed into the snow-covered Whoville, right down to the last can of Who-hash.
All roles will be understudied. Seeking actors of all ethnicities, gender identities, and physical abilities. Employment in this production is contingent upon clearing a criminal background check.
The Grinch (30s - 50s.) A beastly, charming curmudgeon. Scary but with a heart underneath his gruff exterior. Has the size and presence of a Music Hall superstar with deft athleticism. A triple threat. Has a strong, booming baritone singing voice with falsetto.
Young Max (20s). The Grinch's dog, a young pup at heart. Endlessly energetic and acrobatic. Extremely loyal, shows great patience and humor in the face of adversity. Has a strong Tenor singing voice.
Old Max (50s - 60s) A trustworthy, benevolent narrator who is inspired by nostalgia. With his urbane elegance, long-limbed grace and gently sardonic humor, he actually reminds us of Dr. Seuss. Has a strong bass-baritone singing voice.
Papa Who (30s – early 40s) The father of the family, the calm eye of the family storm. Goodness and benevolence pour out of him. A moral example for the rest of Whoville. Has a strong high baritone or baritenor singing voice.
Mama Who (30s – early 40s) Quirky, funny, on the brink of saturation but still maintaining complete control. Until . . . Has a strong, warm soprano singing voice with chest range as well.
Grandpa Who (40s – 50s) The eldest of the family, comically hard of hearing. Not unlike Grandpa Simpson. Has a strong character baritone singing voice.
Grandma Who (40s – 50s) Loving, has the ear of the children and the patience to calm them. Has a strong character mezzo singing voice.
Adult Ensemble (6 actors 20s – 40s). Seeking different types and vivid personalities. The more physically versatile the better. Strong singing voices of all types.
