The Music Hall Announces Holiday Medley Programming
The Music Hall will not present Irving Berlin's White Christmas The Musical this year due to the health crisis.
By: Stephi Wild Oct. 23, 2020
Due to the ongoing pandemic, The Music Hall has announced that it will not be able to stage the Ogunquit Playhouse production of Irving Berlin's White Christmas The Musical this year. White Christmas will be returning to Portsmouth in 2021.
"While we are disappointed, we are excited to announce that we have secured the rights to the show for next year," says Executive Director, Tina Sawtelle. "We ultimately decided it was better to offer a wide assortment of holiday programming at various price ranges to provide more accessible and socially-distanced programming for our community."
The Music Hall is pleased to announce The Holiday Medley with a mix of live events and treasured holiday films from November to New Year's Eve! The holiday line-up will include the return of local and beloved comedian Juston McKinney with his annual Last Laugh stand-up, "Portsmouth Gem" Sharon Jones, and the Boston Camerata, among many other regional artists. New this year, the Stage Door Cabaret series will present intimate and elegant shows right on the Historic Theater's stage. The Music Hall will also screen family favorites and holiday classic movies.
Socially-distanced, Indoor Shows
Celebrate the holiday season with our elegant Stage Door Cabaret series, featuring world-renowned artists in a speakeasy, martini bar atmosphere. Enjoy seating arranged for small gatherings on the historic stage with professional table service during the world-class entertainment.
