FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Holiday Inn: The New Irving Berlin Musical

Aisle View: Soggy Firecrackers
5 / 10

We now have a second Irving Berlin movie-turned-musical, this one derived from the 1942 'Holiday Inn,' which also starred Crosby (with Fred Astaire as his song-and-dance partner/rival). A decidedly better and more enjoyable film than 'White Christmas,' it is rather surprising to find that Holiday Inn-offered as the Roundabout's big fall musical-makes a decidedly weaker stage attraction.

'Holiday Inn': Theater Review
7 / 10

Most musicals are lucky to have one showstopping number. Holiday Inn, the new Broadway show adapted from the 1942 film starring Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby, features two. One of them, 'Shaking the Blues Away,' sums up what this musical packed with 20 Irving Berlin songs succeeds in doing. So sweetly wholesome that you experience a sugar rush while watching it, the show is corny and predictable. But it will surely provide a happy diversion for stressed-out theatergoers during the holiday season, much like its similarly conceived predecessor, White Christmas, which received limited end-of-year Broadway runs in 2008 and 2009.

Anatomy of a Showtune: Irving Berlin's 'White Christmas'
by A.A. Cristi - December 24, 2016


Each holiday season, many folks find their thoughts wandering back to home. And whether home is a small, familiar house just around the corner, a small town somewhere across the country, or on the other side of an ocean, the season invariably invokes images of a more idyllic reality than the one we know; replete with a loving family nestled around the Christmas tree, or gathered around a warm hearth, taking refuge from the wintry conditions outside with some hot cocoa, and enjoying each other's company.

BWW Review: Sharp And Snazzy HOLIDAY INN Is An Irving Berlin Bonanza
by Michael Dale - October 7, 2016


It's been said that Irving Berlin was no fan of big musical spectacles, which is why he stopped writing songs for the ZIEGFELD FOLLIES and had the intimate Music Box Theatre built so that his work could be framed by smart revues that emphasized music and lyrics over glitz and showgirls.
