I’m sure many are familiar with the classic holiday books and Christmas cheer that they bestow upon this holiday season. But…in real life, the story doesn’t end after the last page, and is not always the fuzzy, happy story we think they are.
Not your typical holiday show, Who’s Holiday! playing at Theater Wit in Chicago is a performance filled with humor, some raunchiness, and heart that balances it out perfectly.
On Christmas Eve as she is waiting for some guests for a party, we check in with the beloved Cindy Lou-Who we find years after a certain green character tried to steal Christmas. We are soon met with the reality and filled in on what happened to Cindy Lou in the years that followed.
Have no fear, I won’t spoil the tale. I will say this, you must see this show without fail.
Veronica Garza delivers a performance that is nothing short of sass, wit and rhyme, of course! From the moment she welcomes the audience into her holiday decked out mobile home at the base of Mount Crumpit, it’s clear that the audience is in for a fun time.
Running 65-minutes with no intermission, Who’s Holiday directed by Christopher Pazdernik, written by Matthew Lombardo, is perfect for a night out with friends, a treat for mature audiences. My guest and I enjoyed the show and I can see why it’s back for the fourth year. Don’t miss out!
Now playing through Sunday, December 29 at 1229 W. Belmont. For mature audiences only. Tickets are $15-$45. To learn more, visit theaterwit.org or follow the company on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

As an institution, Theater Wit seeks to be the hub of the Chicago neighborhood theater scene.
