When it was announced that Hallmark was going to be showing its first ever LGBTQ+ lead romcom, The Holiday Sitter, co-starring Jonathan Bennett, I was so excited!

I have been a fan of Jonathan's since his days on ABC's All My Children.

Through this movie, I got introduced to George Krissa, a Toronto based Film, TV & Theatre actor. I adored his performance in The Holiday Sitter.

When I heard that George was coming to New York City to make his cabaret debut, I just had to get an interview with him.

In this interview, George answered my call to reveal:

• Creating his upcoming cabaret show
• Singing showtunes with Jonathan Bennett
• His love for potato chips
• His affection for Country Music
• Life on the Prairie
• So much more

George will make his New York City cabaret debut at Chelsea Table & Stage on September 23, 2023.
