SEEKING:

• 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. 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. 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. 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. 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... 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. A strong character baritone singing voice.
• GRANDMA WHO (40s–50s) Loving, has the ear of the children and the patience to calm them. 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.
