White Christmas On Broadway
All new musical based on Irving Berlin’s classic holiday tale comes to life at the Marquis Theatre for previews on November 14, 2008 and is scheduled for an official start date of November 23, 2008. Just in time for the holiday season White Christmas is sure to delight audiences with its beautiful music, flowing choreography and nostalgic scenery. The Boston Globe says, “White Christmas Sparkles.” Based on the adored 1954 film starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye the musical is reminiscent of a 1950’s Hollywood production. The show takes the story of two friends and World War II vets Bob Wallace and Phil Davis who find their soul mates in sister act Betty and Judy Haynes while performing at a picturesque Vermont Inn. The musical sets the stage for that old fashioned Christmas feel. Although this is the first time the show is hitting Broadway it has been seen since 2004 in various cities including Los Angeles, Boston and San Francisco. It is being directed by Tony Award winning director Walter Bobbie (Chicago) and choreographed by 42nd Street’s Randy Skinner. The show stars Tony Award nominee Stephen Bogardus who is best known for his roles in Love! Valour! Compassion! and Man of La Mancha. Joining Bogardus is Kerry O’Malley, Jeffery Denman and Merridith Patterson all of whom had starred in the earlier regional productions. The inspiring score features many songs by Berlin including “Happy Holidays”, “Count Your Blessings” and “Love, You Didn’t Do Right By Me”. Of course the most popular song included is the title song that started it all. “The Academy Award winning song “White Christmas” was first heard in the 1942 film “Holiday Inn” Which also starred Crosby as well as Fred Astaire. Several other Berlin songs that were not featured in the 1954 film have been added to the stage show.
