White Christmas


On Sunday, December 27, we went to see Irving Berlin's classic musical White Christmas at the Fox Theatre. Mom and dad and Ken and I all enjoyed the show and found it to be a perfect addition to our Christmas celebrations. Direct from Broadway, the classic holiday movie White Christmas sparkled on the stage. This brand new musical shines with classic Berlin hits like "Blue Skies," "How Deep Is the Ocean?" and, of course, the unforgettable title song. Irving Berlin's White Christmas tells the story of two buddies putting on a show in a magical Vermont inn and finding their perfect mates in the process.

The show has a St. Louis connection. Paul Blake, the executive prouder at the MUNY Theatre in St. Louis wrote the book and produced the show. The show premiered at the MUNY a few summers back.
The entire cast was outstanding but we were especially excited to see Lorna Luft, who performed the role of Martha Watson. Ms. Luft is the daughter of legendary entertainer Judy Garland. I remember Lorna Luft in the movie Grease 2, which I have seen and enjoyed countless times. Although I love the movie, most critics did not, so I doubt that Ms. Luft considers it to be her best work!
