Cast Set for WHO'S HOLIDAY at Pittsburgh CLO

Back by popular demand, Pittsburgh CLO is bringing a little holiday mischief once again with Matthew Lombardi's WHO'S HOLIDAY! as part of its Kara Cabaret series. This adults-only, R-rated hit returns to the Greer Cabaret Theater for a limited engagement from November 27 through December 22. Starring Lara Hayhurst as the delightfully grown-up Cindy Lou Who. Directed by Trey Compton, this festive treat promises to be the perfect escape from traditional holiday fare. Following last year's sold-out performances, audiences are urged to get their tickets early for this limited engagement that had Pittsburghers buzzing throughout the season. 

This Cabaret of WHO'S HOLIDAY! by Matthew Lombardo, is strictly R-rated, so don't bring your kiddos.  Cindy Lou's now a grown-up, with all that it brings, cocktails and cursing and jokes are her things.  By the ending we're left with the thinks that we thought, which underscores all the laughter she wrought. Just like us all, Cindy Lou just needs kindness, it's good that WHO'S HOLIDAY! is here to remind us.

“We are thrilled to bring WHO'S HOLIDAY! back for another season,” says Mark Fleischer, Executive Producer, Pittsburgh CLO. “It's a perfect companion piece to our family friendly A MUSICAL CHRISTMAS CAROL at the Byham Theater. This way, audiences can enjoy their wickedly fun, holiday theater traditions all right here in Pittsburgh!”

This VIP package includes premium front-row seating, a meet-and-greet with Cindy Lou Who following the show, a photo opportunity, and a complimentary Cindy Lou Whoop-D-Do drink. It's the perfect way to elevate your night and create unforgettable holiday memories.
