Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn

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

A Connecticut farmhouse, a Hollywood temptation and Irving Berlin's songs: that's a love triangle with a soundtrack. Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn invites you to spend the whole year inside it. On December 20 at Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis, this stage musical turns a Connecticut farmhouse into a place where every holiday earns its own celebration, and the evening begins at 7:00 PM.

The story starts with a leap most of us have daydreamed about. Entertainer Jim walks away from show business for a quiet farmhouse life. Then schoolteacher Linda joins him, and together they open an inn that puts on performances for different holidays. It's a story about reinvention, about finding out whether the spotlight or the simple life fits you better. Then Jim's friend Ted arrives with Hollywood ambitions and wants Linda as his dance partner. That is where the romantic tension kicks in, and you'll want to see who wins her heart.

And This production draws on Irving Berlin's songbook, with numbers including "Blue Skies," "Easter Parade," "Cheek to Cheek" and "White Christmas." Hearing songs like these inside a live story is a different pleasure than hearing them on a playlist. Gather your family, your friends or your favorite date, and make a December night worth remembering. Don't just hum along from the couch this season. Reserve your seats for Holiday Inn in Indianapolis and step into the inn.
