**Who's Holiday, a sequel to and parody of The Grinch, has its European Premiere at HOME - starring Miz Cracker**

There's no Christmas story quite like Dr Seuss' *How the Grinch Stole Christmas*. You've read the book. You've watched the film. You might have even seen [the musical](https://mancunion.com/2019/12/16/review-dr-seuss-how-the-grinch-stole-christmas-the-musical/). But have you come across the sequel?

*Who's Holiday!* is an adults-only comedy that tells the story of an adult Cindy Lou Who as she recalls that Christmas Eve she first met the Grinch - and the twisted turn of events her life has now taken.

"You saw her last when she was just two,
Celebrate the holidays with Cindy Lou Who.
Pull up a seat and fill up your cup,
‘Cause your favourite little Who is all grown up!"

Based on a book by Matthew Lombardo, it premiered off-Broadway a few years back, and now it is set to have its European premiere in Manchester, followed by a stint in London.

Whilst the world premiere starred a cisgender woman as Cindy Lou Who, it has been transformed into a drag comedy for UK audiences. After all, it is co-produced by TuckShop, the electric company behind successful drag shows such as [*Death Drop*](https://mancunion.com/2021/10/26/review-death-drop/) and its upcoming sequel, *Death Drop: Back in the Habit*.

*Who's Holiday!* stars Miz Cracker, who placed fifth on the tenth season of *RuPaul's Drag Race* and was the runner-up on the fifth season of *All Stars*. She recently performed at [*Drag Fest*](https://mancunion.com/2022/05/30/review-drag-fest/) - which, like *Who's Holiday!*, visited both Manchester and London.

The parody musical's premiere is timely, given the upcoming horror parody of the iconic children's book: *The Mean One*. A Christmas slasher, it follows the eponymous character as he goes on a murderous rampage in a sleepy mountain town during the holiday season. As if the Grinch wasn't already scary enough...

Fortunately, *Who's Holiday!*, though intent on ruining your childhood, aims to humour, not horrify, you.

[*Who's Holiday!*](https://tuckshopuk.com/event/whos-holiday) has its European Premiere at [HOME](https://homemcr.org/production/whos-holiday/) (Theatre 1) from November 30 to December 1, before transferring to [Southwark Playhouse](https://southwarkplayhouse.co.uk/productions/whos-holiday/) (Borough - The Large) for a month-long residency, from December 7 to January 7.
