Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn

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

Jim wanted peace and quiet. Then he opened a holiday inn, and show business found his address. Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn hands you the whole year instead. On December 10 at 1:00 PM, Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis brings this stage musical to life, and it's a reason to carve out an afternoon for something warmer than your usual routine.

The story begins with a leap. Entertainer Jim walks away from show business for a Connecticut farmhouse, hoping for a quieter life. Then schoolteacher Linda enters the picture, and the two turn that farmhouse into an inn that puts on performances for different holidays. It's a story about starting over, and about the pull between a simple country life and the glitter of the spotlight. Then Jim's friend Ted shows up, hoping Linda will become his Hollywood dance partner. Suddenly the romance has real stakes.

And This musical draws on Irving Berlin's songbook, with tunes like Blue Skies, Easter Parade, Cheek to Cheek and White Christmas. Because the action moves through holidays across the year, the show is not limited to Christmas. It's a chance to share a classic with someone you love and leave humming. Beef & Boards presents Holiday Inn from November 27, 2026, through January 3, 2027, so plan your visit around this December 10 performance.
