Holiday Magic on Stage and in the Streets: Celebrate the Season with Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn in Abilene
There is something extra special about the holidays in Abilene, and this December, the season shines even brighter with Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn lighting up the stage at Great Plains Theatre.
This joyful musical follows Jim, a former entertainer who trades the spotlight for a peaceful farmhouse in Connecticut, only to discover that life feels a little dull without music, movement, and celebration. When he meets Linda, a talented and spirited schoolteacher, the two turn the farmhouse into a holiday-themed inn filled with sparkling performances for every special occasion from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July. Add in a charming love triangle, plenty of laughs, and toe-tapping tunes, and you have a feel-good show that captures the very heart of the season.
Audiences will enjoy a parade of Irving Berlin favorites including White Christmas, Cheek to Cheek, Blue Skies, Heat Wave, Easter Parade, and many more. With thrilling dance numbers, lighthearted comedy, and a G rating, this production is perfect for families, friends, and anyone who loves classic holiday entertainment.
