Fans React to Matthew Morrison's 'The Grinch Musical' on NBC!
Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical! is airing RIGHT NOW on NBC – and viewers have a lot to say about it!
Leading the cast is Matthew Morrison in the role as The Grinch, looking almost unrecognizable in all that makeup and the infamous green costume. He also revealed how long it took him to get all dressed up as The Grinch.
While watching the show, fans had some very interesting opinions about this updated version of the iconic Christmas story.
One thing a lot of people seem to be talking about on Twitter is how Matthew (as The Grinch) often breaks the fourth wall and talks directly into the camera.
“When Matthew Morrison started speaking directly to the camera my soul left my body #GrinchMusical,” one person tweeted.
A lot of people said that this version of The Grinch is exactly what they’d expect to happen in the crazy year that is 2020.
“Would we expect anything else from the #GrinchMusical during 2020?” another fan tweeted.

I feel like #GrinchMusical is what would happen if you explained Broadway to aliens and asked them to write a musical. pic.twitter.com/8qsJhbCMeA

Matthew Morrison attempting to make the Grinch “sexy” on live television is a desperate cry for help and also a national pandemic in itself #GrinchMusical

Is Max a victim of his environment? Would he be charged for his crimes? Or seen as a prisoner who had no choice but to be an accomplice to the crime? #GrinchMusical

Matthew Morrison is delivering this Seuss Monologue with the serious sincerity of Jack Nicholson staring down the camera in The Shining #GrinchMusical

I thought that a Grinch couldn’t give me more nightmares than Jim Carrey and Matthew Morrison rolled around in green fur and said hold my beer #TheGrinch #TheGrinchWhoStoleChristmas #grinchnbc #grinchmusical

My dog walked into the room, watched a little bit of #GrinchMusical, and immediately started gagging. It's honestly the only review you need to hear.

Really odd when Matthew Morrison looked at the camera and said “so many of my friends are dead, sometimes I think about joining them.” #GrinchMusical

Okay, I thought the makeup was bad but the effect of Matthew's Morrison's heart growing 3 sizes is what's actually going to give me nightmares that was TERRIFYING #TheGrinch #TheGrinchMusical #GrinchMusical
