Opening November 18th, the Palace welcomes patrons to ring in the holiday season with IRVING BERLIN’S HOLIDAY INN on the Springer Stage through December 30th.
Based on the classic film, HOLIDAY INN is a joyous musical that features thrilling dance numbers, laugh-out-loud comedy and a parade of hit Irving Berlin songs, including “Blue Skies”, “Easter Parade”, “Steppin’ Out With My Baby”, “Heat Wave”, “White Christmas”, “Be Careful, It’s My Heart”, “Cheek to Cheek”, “Shaking the Blues Away” and many more!
With a new Broadway book written by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge, HOLIDAY INN is better than ever before! Jim Hardy leaves his right-hand man, Ted Hanover, his mismatched fiancee, Lila Dixon, and the bright lights of show business to settle down on his farm in Connecticut. He quickly discovers life isn’t the same without a bit of song and dance. With a bit of holiday magic, Jim (along with Linda, a local schoolteacher with talent to spare) turns the farmhouse into an inn that celebrates each holiday, from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July!
