White Christmas

White Christmas at Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre

Why see White Christmas?

Back for 2022

Christmas gets classic as this fabulous production of Irving Berlin's White Christmas returns to the road this year. Originating at Leicester's innovative Curve Theatre back in 2019, the popular American musical is directed by Ian Talbot with choreography by Stephen Mear. An absolute must-see for lovers of old Hollywood musical glamour and featuring some of Berlin's most beloved songs, it's a nostalgic tonic that'll have you smiling from the first bars.

What is White Christmas about?

Phil Davis and Bob Wallace are old army pals who are as thick as thieves. From their antics during WW2, and carrying on through to the show's setting in 1954, these guys have a strong code of honour - not to mention, the ability to turn any situation to their advantage.

One Christmas, they pay their ex-Colonel a visit at his upmarket Vermont ski resort, only to find that it is virtually empty and on the verge of closure. With the bold idea of staging a festive show to revive the fortunes of the lodge, the two friends enlist the help of a pair of singing sisters to create and perform within the musical revue - where sparks fly and romance inevitably ensues!

Hugo

Brilliant show, 5 star

Absolutely superb show, brilliant set and great cast. Follows the film with a few twists so if you’re expecting Miracle on 42nd Street you may be disappointed but if not you should love this production. Leading actors were fantastic as were the remaining cast and fantastic orchestra. Lovely ending recreating the iconic film ending. A real feel good show with nostalgia thrown in. Excellent and highly recommended. ... Read more

Fabulous show!

Saw this production this evening and thoroughly enjoyed it! The dancing was superb! Remember the film is not just about Christmas, so there are lots of other things going on! The Christmas ending though was utterly beautiful! Well done to all involved. ... Read more
