Jim leaves the bright lights of show business behind to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut... but life just isn't the same without a bit of song and dance. Jim's luck takes a spectacular turn when he meets Linda, a spirited schoolteacher with talent to spare.

Together they turn the farmhouse into a fabulous inn with dazzling performances to celebrate each holiday, from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July. But when Jim's best friend Ted tries to lure Linda away to be his new dance partner in Hollywood, will Jim be able to salvage his latest chance at love?

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Holiday Inn: The New Irving Berlin Musical

Holiday Inn review – Irving Berlin musical full of suite nothings
4 / 10

The book, by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge, has modernized the tale somewhat (the blackface routine is no more), but not too much. (Surely in this day and age it would be Jim and Ted who band together to open that B&B. And they might have decorated it more handsomely.) The story has an old-timey predictability that may delight those with more conservative tastes, but no real effort has been made to differentiate this show from the other recent Berlin offering, White Christmas, or to integrate the songs into the show. 'What could be better than Broadway?' a hoofer asks. Then Jim launches into Blue Skies. You can check out anytime you like, and chances are that one will - and quite often - as the leaden dialogue trudges to its close.

Irving Berlin’s ‘Holiday Inn’ Sleighs ‘Em In Times Square; Judith Light’s Transparent Scandal: Reviews
7 / 10

Pinkham, a Tony nominee for A Gentlemans Guide To Love & Murder, is no crooner; indeed, he's the Ethel Merman in the mix, singing like the brass section and selling every word to the balcony. Corbin Bleu, of the High School Musical franchise, is the discovery, tapping up a storm that recalls the young Sammy Davis Jr., technical brilliance and cockiness and goodtime in one barely containable package. Sikora also has the right metalurgy of voice, while it's up to Lawrence to infuse the operation with warmth, and she's endearingly up to the task.

Anatomy of a Showtune: Irving Berlin's 'White Christmas'
by A.A. Cristi - December 24, 2016

And whether home is a small, familiar house just around the corner, a small town somewhere across the country, or on the other side of an ocean, the season invariably invokes images of a more idyllic reality than the one we know; replete with a loving family nestled around the Christmas tree, or gathered around a warm hearth, taking refuge from the wintry conditions outside with some hot cocoa, and enjoying each other's company.

BWW Review: Sharp And Snazzy HOLIDAY INN Is An Irving Berlin Bonanza
by Michael Dale - October 7, 2016


It's been said that Irving Berlin was no fan of big musical spectacles, which is why he stopped writing songs for the ZIEGFELD FOLLIES and had the intimate Music Box Theatre built so that his work could be framed by smart revues that emphasized music and lyrics over glitz and showgirls.
