While it's always great to have exciting new voices writing scores for Broadway musicals, it's also thrilling to hear the classics from long ago that thrilled young audiences in their day.
The songs of Irving Berlin never get old, and the new musical based on his film gem HOLIDAY INN is packed with standards like "Steppin' Out With My Baby," "Shaking the Blues Away," "Easter Parade," "Cheek to Cheek" and "Heatwave."
Behind the scenes at the show's photo shoot, stars Bryce Pinkham, Lora Lee Gayer and Corbin Bleu talk about their love for the music of the American master.
The first-ever Broadway production of HOLIDAY INN, THE NEW Irving Berlin MUSICAL starring Tony Award nominee Bryce Pinkham, Lora Lee Gayer, Tony Award nominee Megan Lawrence, Megan Sikora, with Corbin Bleu and Tony Award nominee Lee Wilkof, will be directed by Gordon Greenberg and choreographed by Denis Jones.
With music and lyrics by Irving Berlin, Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge's new book inspired by the Academy Award-winning film, HOLIDAY INN will begin preview performances on September 1, 2016, and open officially on October 6, 2016, on Broadway at Roundabout Theatre Company's Studio 54 (254 West 54th Street).
