Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn

Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn at Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre

Jim trades the spotlight for country life, only to discover that the music isn't finished with him. Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn gives you the whole calendar. On December 3 at 7:30 PM, Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis stages this stage musical, not a film screening, and the story is built around a question that sneaks up on almost everyone: what if you walked away from the spotlight and found something better?

That's Jim's choice. He's an entertainer who leaves show business for a Connecticut farmhouse. Then schoolteacher Linda enters the picture, and together they turn the place into an inn that puts on performances for different holidays. It's a warm, appealing idea, and it comes with a complication. Jim's friend Ted wants Linda as his Hollywood dance partner, so the romance carries real tension. Small-town comfort pulls one way. Show-business glamour pulls the other. You'll want to see who wins.

The Irving Berlin songs include Blue Skies, Easter Parade, Cheek to Cheek and White Christmas. These are tunes many of us have carried around for years, and hearing them inside a live story gives them fresh feeling. Beef & Boards advertises the production from November 27, 2026, through January 3, 2027, so this December evening can become part of your season, not just another night out. If you want a musical with romance, reinvention and songs you already love, grab your seats for Holiday Inn in Indianapolis.
