From Squidward to The Grinch
After a Tony-nominated run in the Broadway hit, Spongebob Squarepants, Gavin Lee (who played the grumpy Squidward) is set to be your Grinch in this year's performances of How The Grinch Stole Christmas!
Lee also gained a Tony nomination for his portrayal of Bert in Broadway's Mary Poppins as well as an Olivier nod for his role in the musical's London premiere.

Christmas is the best time to be living in Whoville - it's every Who's favorite time of year! However, all the Christmas cheer in the world just isn't enough to get The Grinch into the festive spirit. Teased as a child, this green grump has grown to become a rather mean old man determined to ruin Christmas for each and every Who! Will the kindness of one tiny Who be enough to melt his icy heart?
