The Grouch Queen

 Performers:  Grundgetta  • ( Grouch ) Pam Arciero • (Muppeteer) The Grouch  Queen  is a Grouch portrayed in the Sesame Street fairy tale " Snow Grouch &amp; the Seven Dwarfs", a spoof of the "Snow White & the Seven Dwarves" story read by  Oscar the Grouch  to his niece  Irvine. The Grouch  Queen spoofs the Evil Queen, Snow White's evil stepmother.

The fairy tale tells the story of a Grouch  Queen (portrayed by  Grundgetta ), who is the Grouchiest Grouch in all the land. She knows this cause she asks her magic mirror the same question every morning: "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the grouchiest of them all?". The Magic Mirror (voiced by Richard Hunt) always responds with "You are, Queen . You're the Grouchiest Grouch in all the land". The Grouch  Queen 's daughter,  Snow Grouch, with every single passing year, got grouchier & grouchier. The morning Snow Grouch 's 18th birthday, the  Grouch  Queen asks the usual question, but this time the Mirror responded with, "The Grouchiest one in all the land is  Snow Grouch ".

Jealous, the Queen banishes Snow Grouch  from the Kingdom -- or as  Oscar  puts it, "She told Snow Grouch to get lost!" Snow Grouch goes to live with the Seven Dwarves, in their cottage in the woods.

The next morning, the Queen asks the Mirror her usual question, sure that since Snow Grouch  was gone, she was once again the grouchiest Grouch in the land. But Snow Grouch  is still the grouchiest of them all; she's making the Dwarfs' cottage messier every day & throwing the Dwarfs out of their own cottage cause she wants them to get lost, & so she could take her daily mud bath in peace.

The furious Queen tricks Snow Grouch  into taking a bite of a magic sour lemon, which will turn her into a nice Grouch. After she bites the sour lemon, Snow Grouch  starts cleaning up cottage, which made the  Grouch  Queen the Grouchiest Grouch in all the land once more. But then, as luck would have it, a Grouch Prince  (played by  Oscar ), who rode in on his dusty white horse, sees  Snow Grouch  cleaning the cottage, enters & yells -- "Hey,  you ! Snap out of it!".

With these words, the magic spell is broken, & Snow Grouch  is a true Grouch once more. So the Grouch   Prince  &  Snow Grouch  decided to get lost together, & lived grouchily ever after. Whether or not the Grouch  Queen figured out the breaking of her  daughter 's spell or not is never revealed.
