Holy crow! We saw this last night and it was TERRIBLE! I was completely bored after the first 2 minutes and I LOVE the Grinch AND musicals!
It's told through the eyes of Max, the dog. The Grinch is not in it until after the first 20 minutes and it's underwhelming at that.
Cindy Lou Who is a supporting character as is her entire extended family. There's a scene where the Grinch's heart is already warmed to the point of crying when he meets Cindy Lou on Christmas Eve while trying to steal her tree.
He loves her so much he decides to leave all the stuff in her house and go rob the others. I'm like "HUH?" And though it rhymes (at times) it doesn't feel anywhere near the Dr Suess Style you'd expect it to be.
Yeah, I'm going to have to say give this one a "hard pass" if you see it on your streaming service. Go wath Jim Carrey's version instead and avoid this disappointment.
