Drag Race’s Miz Cracker to star in European premiere of Who’s Holiday in Manchester and London

Drag Race US icon Miz Cracker will star in the European debut of Matthew Lombardo’s Who’s Holiday.

The piece is a wildly funny and heartfelt adults-only comedy based on the Dr Seuss classic festive tale The Grinch.

The production will open at Home in Manchester 30 November to 4 December, before a five-week run over Christmas at the Southwark Playhouse, from 7 December to 7 January.

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 favorite little Who is all grown up”

Who’s Holiday tells the story of 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…

Who’s Holiday will be designed by Justin Williams, with lighting design by Kieron Johnson, and with sound design and composition by Mwen. The stage management team will consist of Daisy Francis-Bryden (SM) and Ned Lay (Production Manager).

Miz Cracker said: “I’m thrilled to join Tuckshop for Who’s Holiday this winter. What an honour to make my London acting debut with such a fun concept and company. And what a joy to return to the UK, where I feel so much love every time I visit! I hope everyone has a chance to join us for some big laughs!”

Director Kirk Jameson added: “I’ve admired the creativity and tenacity of Tuckshop for a number of years now and have been keen to find the right kind of project we might collaborate on. Chris’ frankly brilliant idea to combine the nostalgia of Dr Seuss with the global phenomenon that is Drag Race on the U.K. premiere of this brilliant play, was simply impossible to resist. I can’t wait to get started!”
