Jennifer Simard-Led Who’s Holiday, the Off-Broadway Grinch Parody, Cancels Run After Rights Issues

Looks like the Grinch disapproves of stealing. The world premiere of Who’s Holiday, which was to be headlined by Tony nominee Jennifer Simard, has postponed performances. A production spokesperson said it was: "due to a sudden rights issue that needs to be clarified before continuing." Directed by Carl Andress, Matthew Lombardo’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! parody had been set to play a holiday engagement at New World Stages from November 2.

The show follows a middle-aged Cindy Lou Who as she prepares for a Christmas Eve party in her trailer on Mount Crumpit. Through a series of couplets, she charts the events of the past 40 years following her fateful first meeting with the Grinch.

Simard will now next be seen in Broadway's Hello, Dolly! this spring.

Broadway.com customers with tickets to canceled performances will be contacted with information on refunds or exchanges.
