The show is the perfect opportunity for lots of dancing, singing, romance, laughter and some of the greatest songs ever written, including "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep," "Happy Holiday," "Sister," "Blue Skies" and the unforgettable title song. Irving Berlin'S WHITE CHRISTMAS promises to be a merry and bright experience for the entire family!
