Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn

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

An inn that opens for holidays sounds like a fresh start—until Hollywood comes calling for the woman Jim loves. On January 3, 2027, at 1:00 PM, Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn brings a full stage musical to Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis, and it's a smart way to spend the last stretch of the holiday season. Songs like "Easter Parade," "Cheek to Cheek" and "White Christmas" are woven into the story, so you're not just hearing old favorites. You're watching them land inside a romance.

That story starts with a leap. Jim, an entertainer, walks away from show business for a Connecticut farmhouse. Then schoolteacher Linda helps him turn the place into an inn that puts on a show for each holiday. It's a charming idea, and it means the evening isn't stuck in a single season. The calendar itself becomes part of the fun. Reinvention is the heart of it: what happens when a performer tries a quieter life, and the stage still comes calling?

Then comes the complication. Jim's friend Ted wants Linda as his Hollywood dance partner, and the romantic tension sparks between small-town warmth and big-city ambition. It's a treat for anyone who loves Berlin's songbook, a good love triangle or a show that sends you out humming. Make your plans for the closing day of the run, and grab your seats for Holiday Inn in Indianapolis.
