Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn

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

A Connecticut farmhouse, a Hollywood temptation and Irving Berlin's songs: that's a love triangle with a soundtrack. Blue Skies, Easter Parade, Cheek to Cheek and White Christmas all belong to Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn, and on January 2, 2027, they turn up at Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis.

The heart of it is a great what-if. Entertainer Jim walks away from show business for a Connecticut farmhouse. Quiet sounds lovely, until schoolteacher Linda enters the picture. Together they turn the farmhouse into an inn that stages performances for different holidays. Then Jim's friend Ted wants Linda as his Hollywood dance partner, and the sparks start flying. Will she stay in the country, or chase the spotlight? It's a story about reinvention, about the pull between a simpler life and the glamour of the big stage, and about what happens when love gets tangled up with ambition.

Here's the best part for anyone who thinks this is only a Christmas show: the action travels across holidays throughout the year. That gives the evening variety and a bit of surprise. It also makes a smart winter night out, with a 7:30 PM curtain and a Berlin songbook that many people already know by heart. Bring someone who hums along to the classics, or someone you'd like to surprise with a night of romance and song. Make your plans now, and reserve your seats for Holiday Inn in Indianapolis.
