Stephen Bogardus, Kerry O’Malley, David Elder, Megan Sikora, and Lorna Luft will head the cast of the national tour of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. The show will play Omaha, Cincinatti, Philadelphia, East Lansing, St. Louis, Louisville, and Kansas City. It is directed by Tony Award winner Walter Bobbie, with choreography by Randy Skinner, and a book by David Ives and Paul Blake.

The plot revolves around two show business buddies, Bob Wallace (Bogardus) and Phil Davis (Elder), who put on a show in a picturesque Vermont inn and find their perfect mates in the bargain — sister act Betty (O’Malley) and Judy Haynes (Sikora). The score includes such Berlin classics as “Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep,” “Sisters,” “How Deep is the Ocean,” and the title song.

The cast will also feature John Antony, Tom Deckman, Barry Flatman, Richard Pruitt, Sarah Safer, Camille Mancuso, Kacob ben Widmar, Scott Brateng, Barry Busby, Abbie Cooper, Melinda Cowan, Brandon Davidson, Lianne Marie Dobbs, Steven Donahue, Jenny Florkowski, Kristen Gaetz, Chad Harlow, Karen Hyland, Megan Hart Jimenez, Matthew Kirk, Lisa Ramey, Tory Ross, Melissa WolfKlain, Lois Enders, Billy Griffin, Emily Morgan, and Dennis O’Bannion.

The creative team includes Anna Louizos (sets), Carrie Robbins (costumes), Ken Billington (lighting), Acme Sound Partners (sound), Larry Blank (orchestrations), and Rob Berman (musical supervision).
