Pittsburgh CLO's Kara Cabaret is getting a little naughty this holiday season with the R-Rated Matthew Lombardo's WHO'S HOLIDAY! Starring Lara Hayhurst and Directed by Trey Compton at the Greer Cabaret Theater December 1 – 31. Tickets are now available by calling 412-456-6666 or online at PittsburghCLO.org.

WHO'S HOLIDAY! by Matthew Lombardo is strictly R-rated, so don't bring your kiddo. 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!

"How lucky are the audiences of Pittsburgh to have two amazing holiday shows to attend this holiday season – you can be a little bit naughty without the kids and see WHO'S HOLIDAY! at the Greer Cabaret and then do something nice with the family with everyone's favorite holiday tradition of A MUSICAL CHRISTMAS CAROL at the Byham Theater" says Mark Fleischer, Executive Producer, Pittsburgh CLO.  "We are very proud that we can continue to bring exciting musical theatre opportunities that are by Pittsburgh, for Pittsburgh and partnered with Pittsburgh all year long."

Matthew Lombardo's WHO'S HOLIDAY! is specifically designed to be viewed by adults and therefore may be unsuitable for children under 17. This show contains crude indecent language, depictions of alcohol abuse, depictions of substance abuse, and intensely suggestive dialogue.
