White Christmas On Tour
This Christmas classic is as much a cultural institution as Coca Cola or Thanksgiving dinner, and its music feels like it’s been around nearly as long.
White Christmas originated as a 1954 musical film from Paramount Pictures, directed by Michael Curtiz (Casablanca, Mildred Pierce). The narrative came from David Ives and Paul Blake, while famed Tin Pan Alley composer Irving Berlin wrote the music and lyrics. A star-studded event of the highest order, White Christmas starred Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen. In the film story, singers Bob Wallace and Phil Davis meet up with Betty and Judy Haynes to perform a Christmas show in rural Vermont. When they find out that their old commander from the war, General Waverly, is having trouble keeping his inn afloat, they try to help out by putting on a blockbuster musical show.
White Christmas came to the stage in 2000, where it premiered at The Muny in St. Louis as Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. It then played in San Francisco in 2004, going on to tour the U.S. and Canada. The show toured the U.K. during Christmases from 2006 to 2011, after which it saw a limited engagement on Broadway, running 53 performances and 12 previews in 2008 and 2009. In the subsequent few years, it toured the U.S. again, garnering acclaim, including two Tony Award nominations in 2009 for Best Choreography and Best Orchestrations. That same year, White Christmas was nominated for six Drama Desk Awards, including Outstanding Director of a Musical, Choreography, Orchestrations, Set Design, Costume Design, and Sound Design.
Whether you’re an old fan or new to these tunes, you can’t do much better than catching White Christmas during the holiday season.
The original show had no cursing in it. Your play did. Along with creative changes, the script was long and dragging. The food was ok. Not great. The beef round carved at the end was excellent. The egg plant dish was not appetizing at all. Looked like left over. Meatloaf also. But, it is what it is. A nice night out that wasn't as special as it could've been.
A Broadwayesque experience. Totally awesome! Singing and dancing were outstanding!
This was one of the most amazing musicals that I have ever experienced. The performers were all so talented. The singing was excellent, but the dancing was spectacular! Incredible dance numbers and talent. We love the Atlanta Lyric Theatre and this joining with them and Cobb was a beautiful experience. Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to all those involved, and thanks!
Great job telling the story in a little different way. The talent was amazing.
White Christmas was fabulous. Went with friends and we were all glad we attended. It was a wonderful afternoon full of music and dance.
The orchestra had such a full rich sound. The performers had great talents in voice and dancing. Perfectly cast.
The show was fantastic . I and my family enjoyed every moment . The performance was amazing and of West End in London or Broadway in New York excellence . My only negative would be that there was no bar open at the interval .
First time seeing this kind of show and I enjoyed it very much.
The play was great. The food was surprisingly very good. Expected typical buffet fare. Just a wonderful evening. Will make it a tradition.
Our waiter which played the general was great at both. White Christmas has been one of my favorite movies for many years. The entire cast was fantastic. I brought two friends that had never been to your establishment and they absolutely loved it. How you accommodate for everyone left us in Awww. I used to serve the manager Joel at a small convenience store many years ago. I had never been to a dinner theatre until he gave me and my husband a discount or tickets for the first time. I’m so glad I took him up on his offer I e been to see a few shows and have not been let down in the least. Bravo for everyone involved in Toby’s Dinner Theatre.
Such a delightful show!!! The play was wonderful. The actors were awesome! Loved the old songs-what beautiful voices! Thank you for allowing me to reminisce. The menu offered favorites for everyone. Would likely recommend putting in writing that drinks need to be ordered BEFORE intermission. Probably would get more $$ (all profit) by allowing orders for specialty drinks at intermission. Put a bar in lobby!
Food was terrible. We were hoping the show would make up for the disappointing food. Show was just ok. Great to hear the holiday favorites but we were looking forward to so much more. Bummer!
I went with four friends and we all really enjoyed the experience. The acting was first rate ---as was the dancing. But best of all was the singing. This is a really talented group of singers and actors. We were all very impressed. We weren't sure beforehand how the show could be done in a theater in the round. Somehow through clever staging, sets and acting, they really made it work. Great costumes except for the female lead---they need to tailor her outfits better. That is my only criticism.
The show was great they made great scenes especially for the small area they have to perform. The service was great and the food okay but the show was definitely worth it
A great meal, a clean, thoughtful, very well organized environment - followed by a well executed show. Very high level of professionalism by true talents. This is a great way to spend the evening.
The show was very good. And having the actors as your servers was an added bonus. They worked really hard. This is why I tip extra. They deserve it. Now for the food, it was edible. But not delicious at all. They should use a different catering company. The drinks are good and I like the souvenir glasses. Staff very friendly.
The show was entertaining. Dancers were very good. Singers were acceptable. All in all it was an entertaining afternoon
I like the costumes, dancing and staging. The artists did good job in that regard.
I was disappointed that there were not more traditional Christmas songs. I had a difficult time hearing due to the acoustics and my hearing disability. A headset for the hearing impaired was not offered, or if it was I did not know about it. Was able to stay awake during the performance though.Did not understand many words so got disinterested. Take a heavy jacket or blanket along. It was very cold inside the theater.
I was expecting more of the classic Christmas carols and was just a little disappointed.
