Irving Berlin's White Christmas features two Army buddies in the 1940s. After the war, the duo becomes a hit in nightclubs and Broadway. Bob and Phil then become producers, enlist a couple of ladies into a show, and wind up in Vermont trying to save a former commanding officer's ski lodge.
Derby Dinner's production will feature the classic songs from the musical, including Happy Holiday, I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm, and the title song, which remains one of the most popular singles in music history.
For Derby Dinner, Brian Bowman will perform as Bob Wallace, Matthew Brennan is Phil Davis, Sarah Ann Koster is Betty Haynes, and Julie Evins is Judy Haynes. Lee Buckholz directed the production with Heather Paige Folsom providing choreography, and Scott Bradley serving as musical director.
During White Christmas's run, Derby Dinner will also present A Fairy Tale Christmas, a children's holiday show. That show opens on Saturday.
