FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Holiday Inn: The New Irving Berlin Musical
Holiday Inn: EW stage review
7 / 10
Still, you'd have to be a total Grinch not to melt even a little during Berlin's comforting-as-cocoa Christmas ballad. And who couldn't succumb to the charms of the tap-happy 'Shaking the Blues Away,' a massive tree-trimming production number led by that comic dynamo Megan Lawrence as a Rosie the Riveter-meets-Lucille Ball scene stealer?
Theater Review: Holiday Inn, Where I’m Dreaming of a Copyright Extension
5 / 10
Among the 22 songs, many more relate to the wisp of a love-triangle plot than to the supposed theme, thus emphasizing the build-up instead of the payoff. And that build-up is tedious, as the former song-and-dance man, Jim Hardy, and his hoofer ex-partner, Ted Hanover, compete for the affections of Lila Dixon, a leggy bimbo, and then Linda Mason, a homey good girl. Indeed, the lumpy structure makes you wait until nearly the end of the first act for the 'inn' numbers to start, and thus for the show to get moving. At that point a terrific production number of 'Shaking the Blues Away,' led by Megan Lawrence as a butch 'fix-it man' - don't ask - briefly makes you forget how unsatisfying the show has been so far.
