Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, the Musical is currently showing in Tuacahn’s Indoor Hafen Theatre until Dec. 22, and judging from the frenzy of ticket sales, it’s the perfect way to kick off the holiday season!
“I’m thrilled with the response we’ve gotten for White Christmas,” said Stephanie Finck, Tuacahn Marketing Director. “The movie has been a favorite in my family for many years, and I was so excited to see it come to life on the Tuacahn stage. It seems like I’m in very good company since these tickets have sold out faster than ever!”
Adapted for the stage from the timeless film of the same name, White Christmas, the Musical tells the story of two army buddies who met while fighting in World War II. After the war they become a song and dance team, and eventually meet two sisters who are also a song and dance team. Through a series of comedic events, both pairs end up in Vermont where the gentlemen run into their old army commander who is attempting to keep his inn afloat. The talented singers and dancers decide they might be able to revive his inn with a successful show.
It’s a wholesome story full of nostalgia and holiday cheer, as well as a dazzling score, featuring 17 Irving Berlin songs including “Blue Skies,” “I Love a Piano,” and, of course, “White Christmas.”
“I just love the rhythm, the dancing, and the music,” said Mara Newbery Greer, White Christmas Director and Choreographer. “It’s nearly impossible not to leave the theater smiling after witnessing the joy this production brings.”
White Christmas Music Director Benjamin Stayner creates the music with a live orchestra of 11, including himself, as he directs from one of the keyboards. It’s a mixture of local and out-of-town talent, each of whom are more than ready to bring down the house with a big band sound that will transport the audience back to the 1950s, when the original film was made.
“People will love our production of White Christmas because the cast is incredible, our director and choreographer is a genius, and the show is the perfect treat for the holiday season,” Stayner said.
