Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn

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

The choice at the heart of Holiday Inn is anything but simple: the life you've built or the stage you left behind. In Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn, entertainer Jim does exactly that. He leaves show business behind for a Connecticut farmhouse, hoping for a simpler life. Then comes the question every dreamer knows: can you really quit the thing that makes you feel alive? On December 8, 2026 at 7:30 PM, Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis puts that question on stage, and you can be in the room when it plays out.

The heart of the evening is the music. Expect to hear Blue Skies, Easter Parade, Cheek to Cheek and White Christmas. These are songs many of us seem to know before we can say where we learned them. Hearing them performed live, inside a story, gives them a different glow. Familiar melodies become a shared moment with the people sitting around you.

Jim and schoolteacher Linda turn that farmhouse into an inn that puts on performances for different holidays. Along comes Jim's friend Ted, who wants Linda as his Hollywood dance partner. Suddenly the tug between quiet country life and bright-lights ambition has real stakes. Because the show moves through holidays across the year, it is not only a Christmas card of a night. It is a musical about reinvention, friendship and finding where you belong. Pick your night, bring someone who loves a great standard, and reserve your seats for Holiday Inn in Indianapolis.
