White Christmas

TUTS’ dazzling production of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas is part of the 2008-2009 Wow! What a Season offering of fresh new shows. The musical is based on the 1954 movie, White Christmas starring Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby, who play war-buddies turned vaudeville showmen. The plot thickens when they meet two song-bird sisters and romantic antics ensue. The story climaxes when the stars host a musical review in honor of their retired Army captain, drawing the audience into a richly choreographed musical number commemorating the troops’ gratitude. With a cast of 32, nearly two-dozen musicians, elaborate staging, choreography and costumes, the show is a true spectacle. No production of White Christmas would be complete without snow and TUTS’ production does not disappoint: snow will fall throughout the Sarofim Hall onto theater-goers below! White Christmas also serves as the perfect framework for the presentation of Berlin’s hit songs Blue Skies, Count Your Blessings and the title song, White Christmas.
