ABOUT THE SHOW
If you've seen the 1954 movie starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye--and we know you have--you know the story. Bob Wallace and Phil Davis, two iconic song-and-dance men, follow a sister act to Vermont, only to discover that the nearly-bankrupt lodge they were to perform at is owned by their former commanding general.
But it's the fabulous Irving Berlin score that steals the show! Hit after hit after hit after hit including Happy Holiday, Sisters, Count Your Blessings, Blue Skies, Snow, I Love a Piano, How Deep is the Ocean, I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm, and of course...White Christmas.
“A jolly live extravaganza that only Scrooges can resist.” – New York Magazine
“Enchanting as a first snow… Audiences drank it up like spiked egg nog.” – San Francisco Examiner
“White Christmas has 'hit' stamped all over it... There just aren't enough superlatives for this irresistible show.” – Evening Herald
“A big, boffo Broadway musical with a gorgeous score... the show left me twinkling like a Christmas tree.” – Rohan Preston, Star Tribune
“If you're hankering for a fix from the fifties, White Christmas is the perfect gift.” – Roma Torre, NY1
“You'll go home happy. A sure-fire seasonal musical. I don't see how anyone who loves Broadway musicals can fail to be pleased by so polished and ingenious a show. The songs are out of Berlin's top drawer.” – Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
“Glistens with irresistible, snow-topped charm.” – Kate Wyver, The Guardian
