    Press Quotes

    “A raunchy riff on Dr Seuss’s yuletide tale … The little tyke has become a bottle-blonde adult who spends her days in a trailer appointed with Airstream functionality and seasonal kitsch … brassy, very funny … a holiday offering that dirties up Christmas while ultimately reveling in its spirit.” —Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Times

    “This irreverent, adults-only sequel … dares to be as tasteless as possible while replicating Seuss’s trademark rhythms … flawless … juggling comedy, musical interludes, and audience interaction.” —Regina Robbins, Time Out New York

    “Though the years haven’t been kind to Cindy Lou … the booze-guzzling, cigarette-sucking bleached blonde stays lovably upbeat … a comical riot, shining with moxie-laden tastelessness and irreverence. [Cindy Lou] engages front row audience members, sings with gutsy verve and even raps a bit. After an hour of lunacy, a sweet, sentiment ending is added, sending audience members off with a warm smile and probably exhausted from laughter.” —Michael Dale, Broadway World

    “In Matthew Lombardo’s one-woman show, Cindy Lou Who is all grown up — and she isn’t quite the adorable child you remember from Dr. Seuss’s classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Chronicling the forty years that have passed since Cindy caught the Grinch in her living room, Lombardo’s sixty-minute R-rated comedy, spoken entirely in rhyming couplets, is a comic tour de force.” —Carey Purcell, The Village Voice

    “The funniest Christmas show in town!” —BroadwayBox

    “If your fond childhood memories include Dr Seuss
    The Grinch, his dog Max, and a Ville filled with Whos
    You might like a sequel from 40 years hence
    Though if you’re a Grinch, too, you might take offense.
    The new play WHO’S HOLIDAY! by Matthew Lombardo
    Is strictly R-rated, so don’t bring your kiddo
    Yet if your mind’s open and you trust rave reviews
    His Off-Broadway treat will come as good news!
    Cindy Lou’s now a grown-up, with all that it brings
    Cocktails and cursing and smokes are her things.
    She’s led an adult life that’s chock full of spice
    Her shocking backstory’s more naughty than nice.
    She’s hosting a Christmas Eve fête for her friends
    It’s her way of trying to make some amends
    For all that she did before going to jail
    Will the party succeed, or will it just fail?
    At the ending we’re left with a serious thought
    Which underscores all of the laughter she wrought
    That ‘white trailer trash’ Cindy Lou just needs kindness
    It’s good that WHO’S HOLIDAY!’s here to remind us.”
    —Deb Miller, DC Metro Theater Arts
