CLO’s ‘Who’s Holiday!’ Continues Onstage at Greer Cabaret Theater (Thurs., 12/21/23)

WHO’S HOLIDAY! (one-woman show) written by Matthew Lombardo. Pittsburgh CLO Cabaret. December 1 – 31. 

Once upon a time, centuries ago, the holiday season was a time for partying till your pants came off. That’s why the Puritans banned Christmas celebrations, which the preacher Cotton Mather described as twelve days of “lewd gaming,” “rude reveling,” and “licentious liberty.” We don’t take quite so many liberties these days, but some of us like to get a little naughty along with the nice—and therefore Pittsburgh CLO Cabaret is staging the one-woman show Who’s Holiday!  It’s an evening with Cindy Lou Who, best known as the cute little tyke from How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Now that she’s grown up, her idea of holiday cheer has evolved. To quote from the trigger warning on the web: “This show is specifically designed to be viewed by adults …. This show contains crude indecent language, depictions of alcohol abuse, depictions of substance abuse, and intensely suggestive dialogue.” Would that be sufficient to trigger your interest? Lara Hayhurst plays Cindy Lou, understudied by Lu Zielinski, from a script by playwright Matthew Lombardo. See Who’s Holiday! at the Greer Cabaret Theater. 8 p.m. 655 Penn Ave., Cultural District. (M.V.)
