The Music Hall Reveals Upcoming Holiday Events, Announces Cancellation of WHITE CHRISTMAS

The Music Hall has announced that it will not be able to stage the Ogunquit Playhouse production of Irving Berlin's White Christmas this year.

"Unfortunately, after careful consideration and consultation on the size and scale of the White Christmas production, coupled with the ongoing uncertainty with the pandemic, we have made the tough choice to cancel this year's show," says Tina Sawtelle, The Music Hall's Executive Director. "Rest assured, White Christmas will return to The Music Hall in the future! We are, however, pleased to offer a wide assortment of holiday events this year at varied price points to appeal to our audiences."

The Music Hall has announced 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 the Stage Door Cabaret series featuring: A Sinatra Christmas with Rich DiMare, R&B powerhouse Shemekia Copeland, funky strong band Twisted Pine, and progressive folk band Honeysuckle. Beloved local comedian Juston McKinney returns with his annual Year in Review stand-up, as will the New Year's Eve Champagne Pops with the Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra. The Music Hall will also screen family favorites and holiday classic movies. The Music Hall is continuing to book new shows for December; the best way to stay up to date is to visit TheMusicHall.org
