Glee-stjärnans version av Grinchen sågas: ”Suger”

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a children's story by Theodore "Dr. Seuss" Geisel written in rhymed verse with illustrations by the author. It follows the Grinch, a grumpy, solitary creature who attempts to put an end to Christmas by stealing Christmas-themed items from the homes of the nearby town Whoville on Christmas Eve. Miraculously, the Grinch realizes that Christmas may not all be about money and presents. The story was published as a book by Random House in 1957, and at approximately the same time in an issue of Redbook. The book criticizes the commercialization of Christmas and the Christmas holiday.The book has been adapted as a 1966 animated TV film narrated by Boris Karloff, who also provided the Grinch's voice in that production. In 1977, a Halloween prequel titled Halloween Is Grinch Night aired with the Grinch voiced by Hans Conried. It was then followed with a 2000 live-action feature film starring Jim Carrey, a 2018 computer-animated film starring Benedict Cumberbatch, a 2007 musical, and a 2020 live television adaptation of the musical starring Matthew Morrison.
