The 5th's production of Holiday Inn will feature the acclaimed sets and costume designs from the recent Broadway production.
Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn is a glorious new musical (inspired by the Oscar-winning film) that features 20 timeless Irving Berlin songs, including the beloved favorites "White Christmas," "Easter Parade" and "Blue Skies." In this holiday delight, Jim leaves the bright lights of show business to settle down on a farm in Connecticut-but he finds the simple life is not as simple as he thought. Called "Heartfelt musical eggnog" by The New York Observer, Holiday Inn is a heartwarming treat, sure to put your whole family in the best of holiday spirits.
