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. Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn invites you to spend the whole year in a place where every date on the calendar is a reason to sing. On December 22, 2026, at 7:30 PM, Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis brings this stage musical to life, and it's a smart way to give your December a story worth remembering.

That story begins with a bold escape. Entertainer Jim walks away from show business for a Connecticut farmhouse. Then schoolteacher Linda enters the picture, and the two turn the property into an inn that puts on performances for different holidays. It's a charming idea. The spotlight doesn't disappear, it just finds a new home. Complications arrive when Jim's friend Ted wants Linda as his Hollywood dance partner, setting quiet country life against the pull of the big time. Who wouldn't want to see how that tug-of-war plays out?

The show draws on Irving Berlin's songbook, and the local description names Blue Skies, Easter Parade, Cheek to Cheek and White Christmas. Those are songs many of us already carry around, tied to family rooms, old movies and seasonal traditions. Hearing them inside a live romance is a different kind of joy.
