FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Holiday Inn: The New Irving Berlin Musical
‘Holiday Inn’ Broadway Review: Like Visiting Berlin Before the Fall of the Wall
4 / 10
Holiday Inn' is the kind of musical that makes you wish there were fewer holidays in the year. By the time the show's big Fourth of July number rolls around, theatergoers will be hoping they skip Labor Day and Thanksgiving to wrap it up quickly with a Santa Claus finale. Slower than that spiritless denouement is the entire first act, which takes 50 minutes to deliver the show's farm-saving concept that everyone knew before walking into Studio 54, where this 'new Irving Berlin musical' opened Thursday under the auspices of the Roundabout.
'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.
