Olivier Award winner Lesli Margherita plays "Cindy Lou Who" in the world premiere of Matthew Lombardo's new comedy with a twist of rhyme, WHO'S HOLIDAY! directed by Carl Andress, which celebrated its opening last night, November 28. The strictly limited engagement plays The Westside Theatre Upstairs (407 W 43rd St, New York, NY 10036) through Sunday, December 31st. BroadwayWorld has photos from the opening festivities below!
In addition to Lesli Margherita, in attendance for opening night were playwright Matthew Lombardo (Tea at Five, Looped), director Carl Andress (The Divine Sister), and celebrity guests, including: actor Dan Amboyer ("Younger"), Max von Essen (Anastasia), Alex Brightman (School of Rock), actress Phyllis Newman, actress Alison Fraser (First Daughter Suite), playwright Charles Busch (The Divine Sister), actress Julia Murney (The Landing), actress Julie Halston (The Babylon Line), actor Matthew Montelongo (Daniel's Husband), actress Jennifer Van Dyck (Perfect Arrangement), singer Jim Caruso, nightlife personality Marti Gould Cummings, and actor Brian Hutchison (How to Transcend a Happy Marriage). Jennifer Cody and Hunter Foster, John Tillinger, and Jennifer Bowles,
The story involves a middle-aged Cindy Lou Who, now residing in a beaten down trailer in the snowy hills of Mount Crumpit. As she prepares to host a Christmas Eve party for her friends, she recalls from her own perspective that fated night when she first met the Grinch, and the strange turn of events her life has taken for the past 40 years. Lombardo's hysterically funny, wildly irreverent, and heartfelt parody is an absolute must-see for adult theatre-goers this holiday season!
