A lot of work goes into preparing for the massive merry celebrations that happen at theme parks throughout the country. The Universal Orlando Resort is one of those theme parks, and it is beginning to take some big steps in the festive production.
Universal Studios Orlando is currently on the search for numerous actors and singers to perform in their annual Grinchmas celebration. The Universal Orlando Auditions site posted just what they would like in candidates who would like to apply.
Universal Orlando is looking for musical theater performers, who will most likely play the roles of Whovillians who love Christmas and live in the fictional town of Whoville. Here are the requirements for those wishing to audition as musical theater performers:

In addition to musical theater performers, Universal Orlando is also looking for actors who would love to portray the big green guy himself, the Grinch. Here is what is required of actors who think they may fit the role:

Even though holidays at the Universal Orlando Resort, including Grinchmas, happened last year, things were a bit different due to the pandemic. Limits were put on the number of Guests who could attend, and crowds were socially distanced with mandatory mask-wearing. This year, there are no pandemic-era restrictions in place at the theme park.

Universal Orlando Resort has not announced its dates for holidays at the theme park at this time. Inside the Magic will keep readers informed as more information is released.
