WEST CHESTER, PA — Snowy Vermont scenery, dazzling dance numbers and the timeless music of Irving Berlin will bring Broadway-style holiday entertainment to downtown West Chester as “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas” takes the stage at the Uptown Knauer Performing Arts Center this December.
Produced by Revival Productions, the musical opens Saturday, Dec. 5, and continues through Sunday, Dec. 27, offering 10 performances of the holiday favorite at the theater, located at 226 N. High Street.
The production combines romance, comedy and musical spectacle in a story about friendship, love and the enduring spirit of the Christmas season.
At the heart of the musical are Bob Wallace and Phil Davis, two former Army buddies who become a successful song-and-dance team after World War II.
Their lives take an unexpected turn when they meet a talented pair of singing sisters, setting the stage for a holiday adventure at a Vermont inn.
What follows is a celebration of friendship and romance, filled with musical performances, comic misunderstandings and the nostalgic charm that has made “White Christmas” a seasonal favorite.
The show features some of Irving Berlin’s most recognizable compositions, including “Blue Skies,” “I Love a Piano,” “How Deep Is the Ocean” and the beloved title song, “White Christmas.”
Together, the musical selections provide the foundation for a production featuring large-scale dance numbers, familiar melodies and moments of humor and sentiment.
The combination of classic American songwriting and theatrical choreography makes the show an inviting choice for audiences of different generations, whether they are longtime fans of the musical or experiencing it for the first time.
