“I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know” takes on a new meaning with Irving Berlin’s joyful White Christmas at the Crucible. The show is a charming ode to the Golden Age of Hollywood and a celebration of showmanship.
Based on the 1954 classic festive film of the same name, White Christmas follows ex-soldiers turned showbiz duo Bob (George Blagden) and Phil (Stuart Neal) as they meet, and subsequently fall head over heels for, sisters Betty (Grace Mouat) and Judy (Natasha Mould), signing them as their newest act.
With the promise of snow and success, they head to perform at a remote ski resort, where they find an unseasonable lack of snow and some faces from the past.
