Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn

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

There's more than tinsel in this musical. A farmhouse dream, a Hollywood rival and an Irving Berlin score make sure of it. Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn invites you to spend a whole year inside it. On December 15 at Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis, this stage musical brings a story of second chances, new beginnings and well-loved songs to a 7:30 PM evening that can feel like a gift to yourself.

The heart of it is a great little tale. Entertainer Jim walks away from show business for a quiet Connecticut farmhouse. Then schoolteacher Linda enters the picture, and the two turn the property into an inn that stages performances for different holidays. It's a charming idea. It's also a story about reinvention, about what we leave behind and what we'll risk to chase something that feels real. Then Jim's friend Ted shows up, hoping Linda will become his Hollywood dance partner, and the romance gets complicated in all the right ways.

And The Indianapolis production's description names Irving Berlin songs including Blue Skies, Easter Parade, Cheek to Cheek and White Christmas. Hearing tunes like those in a live theater room hits differently than hearing them through a speaker while you wrap presents. That makes it a fresh pick for family outings, date nights or anyone who loves a classic with plenty of heart.
