CHESTER SPRINGS, PA — We’re dreaming of a WHITE CHRISTMAS! “White Christmas”, the Musical, is coming to SALT December 2 – 18, 2022.
“White Christmas” is the heartwarming musical adaptation based on the beloved, timeless film. Veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II. With romance in mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be owned by Bob and Phil’s former army commander, The General. With a dazzling cast featuring well-known standards including “Blue Skies,” “I Love A Piano,” “How Deep Is the Ocean”, and the perennial title song, “White Christmas” is an uplifting musical worthy of a holiday family-outing to SALT. A cast meet & greet will follow each performance, as well!
“Perfect for the holidays, not only because of the joyous score, but because at the heart of “White Christmas” is a show about community,” comments Lauren McComas, President and Artistic Director of SALT Performing Arts. “It’s a show about helping friends in need, the lasting bonds of friendship, sisterhood, and the golden rule that brings us together in life…the spirit of Christmas. David Ives, the librettist of Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” succinctly described this theme as simplicity, generosity, and decency. We hope our festive rendition leaves you feeling some holiday cheer, just like the ones you used to know … ”
