Synopsis:
Based on the beloved, timeless film, this heartwarming musical adaptation features 17 Irving Berlin songs.
Veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II.  With romance in mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be owned by Bob and Phil’s former army commander.  With a dazzling score featuring well-known standards including “Blue Skies”, “I Love a Piano”, “How Deep Is the Ocean”, and the perennial title song, White Christmas is an uplifting, wholesome musical that will delight audiences of all ages.

Roles:
Bob Wallace – A major singing star, he wears his fame easily.  He is a deeply kind and principled man who is searching for true love.

Phil Davis – Fun-loving song and dance partner of the team Wallace and Davis.  He has a boyish charm and is determined to see his friend happy, even if it requires scheming and outright deception.

Betty Haynes – Sensible, responsible half of the Haynes sisters act.  Classic elegance and devoted to her sister.

Judy Haynes – Younger, more ambitious and slightly scheming younger sister of Betty.  Wholesome and adorable.

General Henry Waverly – Retired Army General.  A man of integrity, precise and orderly, adjusting to retired life and struggling to run the Inn in Vermont.

Martha Watson – Once a Broadway star, now the General’s housekeeper.  Very dry wit and frank with a wisecracking sense of humor.  Big hearted, unsentimental, and an irrepressible meddler.

Susan Waverly – General Waverly’s granddaughter, lovable and outgoing.  A bit precocious, but wise beyond her years.  Gets bitten by the stage bug and is great at it.

Sheldrake – Jokester army buddy, now a major television executive.  Fast talking, loud, brash New York professional with a good head on his shoulders.

Rita & Rhoda – Bob and Phil’s two star chorus showgirls.  Brash, sexy, and fun.  Perhaps not the brightest.

Ezekiel Foster – Practical, the ultimate laid back New Englander.  A man of few words.  Caretaker at the Inn.  Takes life at a very leisurely pace.

Mike – Bob and Phil’s Stage Manager.  Can be overly dramatic and often hysterical, but gets the job done.  Works to attempt a sense of control and order for the company.

Tessie – Bob and Phil’s secretary.

Jimmy, Cigarette Girl, Snoring Man, Mrs. Snoring Man, Train Conductor, Dance Captain, Seamstress, Assistant Seamstress, Ed Sullivan Announcer, Regency Room Announcer, Sheldrake’s Secretary
