Toronto: “Predictable Holiday Rom-Com: The Musical” runs at The Second City Nov 4-16
Wednesday, October 8, 2025
The holidays just got a whole lot funnier. Predictable Holiday Rom-Com: The Musical takes the predictable plot of every Christmas romance movie on Hallmark, Lifetime and Netflix - and adds 17 hilariously unpredictable songs. With book and lyrics by George Reinblatt (Evil Dead The Musical), and music by Suzy Wilde (After the Rain) and Reinblatt, this all-Canadian comedy is staging a limited engagement sneak peek for two weeks only at The Second City Toronto from November 4th to 16th.
"We’ve taken the exact same Christmas love story you’ve seen in hundreds of TV movies – and turned it into a comedy musical,” said Reinblatt. “And if you’re wondering which holiday rom-com we based this show on... the answer is all of them, since they all basically have the same plot”.
Will the magazine writer who returns to her hometown fall in love with the single dad she bumped into? Of course she will. Will the Christmas tree lot that’s going out of business be saved just in time for the holidays? Obviously. But what makes this show unique is that it mixes that familiar storyline with hilarious pop tunes.
“The songs in this show are equal parts catchy and ridiculous,” said Wilde. “So there’s no better place to debut them than at The Second City”.
Susan Waycik, Managing Producer of The Second City said, "We love the holiday season at Second City, and we're thrilled to have the amazing show, Predictable Holiday Rom-Com: The Musical, as part of our festive festivities!"
Unlike the usual Second City fare, Predictable Holiday Rom-Com: The Musical is not an improv show. It’s a full-length comedy musical, playing for a limited two-week engagement. So put on your ugliest Christmas sweater, grab an eggnog, and kick off the holidays with this crazy new musical at Toronto’s funniest theatre.
