On this episode of Show & Tell with Andrea Darlas:  First up, we always talk about the grinch… but whatever happened to Cindy Lou Who? Veronica Garza joins the show to talk about the hilarious “Who’s Christmas,” where she plays Cindy…40 years later. Then, Carisa Hendrix and Sa’Rayah tell tales of the magical “Love, Chaos, and Dinner” show at the gorgeous Teatro ZinZanni. It’s dinner and a show like no other! After that, a double dose of sweetness: Meena Sood and Charlie Long, two talented twelve-year-olds, talk about what it’s like sharing the role of Charlie Bucket in the Paramount Theater’s production of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” I mean it when I tell you, they are sweet! Finally, Ainsley Anthony Melham tells us all about playing Dwayne in the smash hit show, “BOOP!
