That's very cool for him. I think he'll be great. I guess he likes the villain character thing.

Posted: 9/5/06 at 8:07pmUnfortunately for him, the green thing is not so novel anymore. He probably would have gotten a lot more press for it if it were first.

Posted: 9/5/06 at 9:07pmJohn Cullum has been cast as the narrator - Old Max, the dog. They are all scheduled to do all 12 shows during the week, but I'm sure covers will be going on regularly. It's a quick easy show to do, but when you add in the crazy (heavy) costumes it can be a little much. Especially back to back like they're scheduled on Saturdays.

Posted: 9/5/06 at 10:43pmLook at it this way - doing Grinch twice a day is like doing most musicals once. The whole show is shorter than the first act of Les Miz, Fiddler, and many others.

Posted: 9/5/06 at 11:37pmI'm kind of surprised they didn't cast a big name as the Grinch. I guess the title is the big name for the show, and Seuss.

Posted: 9/5/06 at 11:44pmTo me Patrick Page IS a big name. If I rememeber correctly Leo Daginault played the role at Old Globde.

Unless they are drastically changing the costume design, a lot of the actors are completely unrecognizable. I would think a "star" would want to be seen.
I think Patrick Page is the perfect choice. I think he'll be fantastic. Wish I could see it.

Posted: 9/5/06 at 11:47pmLeo played the Grinch last year, and was fantastic.
