This Cabaret of 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 of the laughter she wrought
Just like us all, Cindy Lou just needs kindness
It’s good that WHO’S HOLIDAY‘s here to remind us.

What happens when a James Bond-obsessed Dominican boy (who won’t go anywhere without his Nerf gun) finds out that the real James Bond was Dominican? Learning that Bond creator Ian Fleming drew upon the life of Porfirio Rubirosa—a Dominican diplomat, international polo champion, race-car driver, and spy—as the inspiration for 007 shook actor Christopher Rivas’ very foundation. Set to a live percussion score and immersive projections, The Real James Bond…Was Dominican is a young man’s guide to love, color, code-switching, white-washing, fake-it-til-you-make-it, and the roller coaster of finding one’s true self.
