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 lets you step inside the whole year. On December 30, 2026, at 1:00 PM, Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis brings this stage musical to life, and it offers a bright, tuneful way to spend a midweek afternoon at the tail end of the season.

The story starts with a choice most of us have daydreamed about. Entertainer Jim walks away from show business for a Connecticut farmhouse. Then he meets schoolteacher Linda, and the two turn that quiet place into an inn that puts on performances for different holidays. It's a reinvention tale with a warm heart. But Jim's friend Ted complicates everything by wanting Linda as his Hollywood dance partner. Suddenly the question isn't just who gets the girl. It's whether a simple life or the spotlight wins.

The Wednesday matinee gives the story a natural place in your day. This musical draws on Irving Berlin's songbook, and the local description names Blue Skies, Easter Parade, Cheek to Cheek and White Christmas. Hearing songs like those performed live, inside a story that moves through holidays across the year, feels different from playing them at home. If you want romance, familiar melodies and a little escape before the calendar turns, make this your plan. Secure your seats for Holiday Inn in Indianapolis and give your year a classic-musical send-off.
