Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn

Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn at Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre

White Christmas is only one stop on this musical calendar. Irving Berlin's classics carry the story through a full year. Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn comes to Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis on November 28, 2026, at 7:30 PM, and it is the live stage musical, not a movie night. If you want your season to feel like a night out instead of another evening on the couch, this is a lovely place to start.

The story has a warm, human pull. Entertainer Jim walks away from show business for a Connecticut farmhouse. Then he and schoolteacher Linda do something clever: they turn the place into an inn that puts on performances for different holidays. It's a tale about starting over, about whether quiet country life can compete with the bright lights, and about what happens when Jim's friend Ted wants Linda as his Hollywood dance partner. That tug-of-war gives the romance real spark, and it gives the evening a reason to sing.

And the songs are the gift. The musical draws on Irving Berlin's catalog, with numbers including "Blue Skies," "Easter Parade," "Cheek to Cheek" and "White Christmas." Hear those melodies performed live, and you may catch yourself smiling before the chorus lands. Better yet, the calendar-spanning setting means the show celebrates holidays across the year, not Christmas alone. Make a night of it in Indianapolis, and grab your seats for Holiday Inn at Beef And Boards.
