Irving Berlin's White Christmas: The Musical

Ten years after World War II, old Army buddies Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have become a successful song-and-dance duo. When they meet the musically talented Haynes Sisters, Phil is instantly smitten by Judy, while Bob is attracted to Betty. Following the sisters to their seasonal singing engagement at a Vermont inn, Wallace and Davis discover that the inn’s owner is none other than their wartime commander, General George Waverley. Due to a lack of snow — and therefore patrons — the inn is about to go under. What better way to boost bookings than to put on a big show! Romantic complications and misunderstandings threaten to derail the plan, but love ultimately prevails in the classic holiday musical, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas!

Event Date: 11/14/2024, 7:30 pm to 11/14/2024, 9:30 pm
