Welcome to 1946, a time of prosperity, social change, economic growth, the tail-end of a postwar booming Hollywood movie industry and the beginning of what we now call the baby boom! This is when our story takes place.
Join us for classic award-winning songs like “White Christmas” and “Cheek to Cheek” flawlessly executed by our live band headed up by Vonda K. Bowling. This joyful musical makes an important, and still relevant, statement about the value of living in the moment, being true to yourself, and loving the truth of your life over the glamorized, edited,
filtered version while simultaneously filling audiences with splendid celebrations of the many holidays we celebrate here in America.
From Director Penny Ayn Maas: “It has been my goal from day one to stay true to the warmth and spirit of the original film, and whether you prefer the old, competitive story of the movie or this sweet and charming updated stage version, both are ultimately about following your heart and finding your own kind of happiness.”
So, sit back, get cozy and let yourself be transported back to an earlier time! With an incredible set designed by Bryan Stevenson, beautiful costumes by Karen Potter, and unforgettable choreography by Becca Brown, we are certain this production, with its phenomenal cast, crew and creative team will warm your heart this holiday season.
Executive Producer Steven D. Morris says "This show is perfect for the holidays, with great music, big dance numbers, a lot of tap dancing and a lot of laughs. It will be sure to make the holiday season brighter and more fun."
Group rates are available for parties of 10 or more.
