    White Christmas

    by brendy on 12/16/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The show was very good.. the girls behind us singing every song practically and talking loudly during the entire performance wasn't. But Bravo for the cast...

    White Christmas kicks off the holidays right!

    by LoreB on 12/15/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Had a fabulous night enjoying White Christmas at the Cadillac Palace Theater. If you can make it happen, go see it. Everyone was great and it was especially nice to see Lorna Luft sing and dance! Start a new holiday tradition this year!

    A Christmas Delight

    by T. on 12/15/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    White Christmas is my favorite Christmas movie and this was my first time seeing it on the stage; I loved it! It was both funny and heart-warming, with amazing performances from the cast and band, and pretty scenery. The dance numbers were especially fantastic. There were some aspects that worked better in the movie, and some that worked better in the stage version. I would definitely recommend seeing this!

    Not like the movie..

    by M. on 12/15/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    If you like the movie- sadly, you won’t enjoy. This rendition pales in comparison! Songs are different arrangements, tempos etc, story is different. If you don’t know the movie, then you will probably enjoy.

    Exceptional talent

    by Melanie on 12/15/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I appreciate how familiar aspects of the movie are woven throughout the production while creating a theater experience of its own. I loved everything from the music, tap dancing, and story line to the audience participation at the end. The talent on stage was exceptional.

    Christmas Spirit

    by Ed on 12/14/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Had very enjoyable afternoon. Good seats, we could see and hear very good. My sister in law uses walker so we were close to aisle.

    This musical was terrible. I left at the intermission.

    by Susan on 12/14/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The voices of the male leads were too high. Thus the characters lacked substance. The dancing was technically competent but boring. Obviously the original script of the musical was shorter and less detailed than the movie. But it was a mistake to leave out the version of "Sisters" where the men performed. The lack of that song/scene was distracting and disturbing when it didn't appear in the musical.

    If you love the original, skip this

    by sewfashion on 12/14/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I knew going in that it was not going to be like the film, but while the two "sisters" were very good in delivering the essence of Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen, the two male leads were abysmal. No personality to either...the Bob Wallace character didn't play the stature and confidence required and the Phil Davis character was turned into a womanizing shlub. No pizazz from either of them, no funny lines or exchanges between them, whoever wrote this needs another rewrite. As for the choreography...hmmm. The tap numbers were pretty well done thanks to the ensemble, but the hideous attempt at "While You're Dancing" was so much skipping and sashaying, it was disturbing to watch. It should have been cut in half. Lorna Luft has a great voice, but comedic acting is not accomplished just with a constant shout and shrill voice, but given the material.... It was almost as though that character was meant to steal the show from all of the leads by force. Overall, this could have been so much better particularly since the audience's anticipation of the iconic show stopping numbers is great. I immediately went home and played my DVD to wash off the memory of this production.

    In a Christmas mood

    by Marge on 12/14/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The show was fantastic. The singing , dancing, tap-dancing too, and costumes were all top-notch.

    Great show, freezing cold in the theater

    by E on 12/14/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Lots of energy. Wonderful singing and choreography. Audible "awes" at the end for the finale. Freezing cold in the theater. Informed that it's not heated in the winter. Musicians in the orchestra pit were playing with their winter coats on. I made the mistake of leaving my winter coat in the car. The situation was ridiculous. I will never buy a ticket at the Cadillac Palace theater again during the winter.

    I thought I was going to see “White Christmas”

    by S. H. on 12/14/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The cast was talented, however the play didn’t follow the movie very much.

    Entertaining!

    by M. S. on 12/14/19

    Overall, the singing and the dancing was good. At times, I thought the story dragged a bit. For whatever reason, the temperature in the theater was quite cool/drafty, and many people in our section (lower balcony) had to wear their jackets during the show. Not one of my favorite experiences, sorry.

    Wonderful show!!

    by DonnaP on 12/14/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    White Christmas was filled with wonderful dancing, beautiful stage sets, and a fantastic cast. The only negative I would have was the the theatre was FREEZING.

    White Christmas

    by C. B. on 12/14/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    What a fun night! We double dated with our daughter and her husband and had a delightful time. The show was a fun alternative to the traditional movie. The cast and orchestra were just great.

    Cold Christmas

    by Cindy on 12/14/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The show was fabulous but the theater was unbelievably cold. When you pay that much for a ticket you expect to be comfortable when watching it. May not attend another show at the Cadillac during the winter months!

    A Dazzling White Christmas

    by FDrew on 12/14/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    This is the kind of old style song and dance musical I love. It makes clear why tap dancing should make a comeback in musicals. The production numbers were pure joy, and how can you not love the music of Irving Berlin. It's the perfect gift for lovers of musical theater.

    Wonderful holiday experience

    by H. U. on 12/14/19Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    White Christmas was a wonderful production! From the sets, to the costumes, and to the performers, all in all it was quite perfect. Also Cadillac Palace Theater is such a beautiful place. Not a bad seat in the house if you ask me. We had a wonderful time. The only negative thing I would say is the lobby was the same temperature as outside (in the 20’s) I have no idea why the heat wasn’t on.

    A step back in time to the good ol’ days! Innocent fun, great music, beautiful costumes. Conjures up great memories and creates new ones. Enjoy White Christmas with your family and friends!!
