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 lets you enjoy the whole year at once. On December 23 at 1:00 PM, Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis brings this stage musical to life, and it's a smart way to trade pre-Christmas errands for a story with heart, rhythm and a little romance.

The setup is easy to love. Entertainer Jim walks away from show business for a Connecticut farmhouse. Then he and schoolteacher Linda turn that quiet home into an inn that puts on performances for different holidays. Trouble arrives in the form of Jim's friend Ted, who wants Linda as his Hollywood dance partner. Suddenly the question isn't only who gets the spotlight. It's who gets Linda, and what kind of life is worth choosing. Reinvention, rivalry and a pull between country calm and Hollywood glitter give the evening real momentum.

This production draws on Irving Berlin's songbook, including Blue Skies, Easter Parade, Cheek to Cheek and White Christmas. Hearing songs like these inside a live story gives familiar melodies a fresh spark. Because the action spans holidays across the year, the show feels bigger than a single seasonal postcard. Gather your family, your friends or your favorite fellow musical lover, and make Indianapolis your holiday stop. Reserve your seats for Holiday Inn here and give December 23 a song to remember.
