Irving Berlin's White Christmas, the stage adaptation of the popular 1954 film musical, makes its New York premiere at Broadway's Marquis Theatre.
The plot revolves around two show business buddies who perform in a Vermont inn and find their perfect mates. The score includes such Berlin classics as "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep," "Sisters," "How Deep is the Ocean," and the title song. The film, directed by Michael Curtiz, starred Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen.
The show is directed by Tony Award winner Walter Bobbie, with choreography by Randy Skinner, and a book by David Ives and Paul Blake.

WC is a terrific show. Wonderful songs and it is different enough from the film that you dont miss the film at all. Cast is wonderful, especially Jeffry Denman - a terrific talent, real STAR material. Cast is so good you dont miss the film stars.

What a wonderful to kick off the holiday season. The music is just amazing, the sets and costumes are beautiful. I enjoyed it more than the Music Hall Spectacular.
It really left you leaving the theatre with a smile
