Theater review: Irving Berlin's White Christmas at Bass Performance Hall in ...
01.01.70
In the Bass Playing Hall . The show began with an overture as crisp and miserly as the top of snow drift on a zero degree day -- no amazement the orchestration by Larry Blank received a Tony nomination in 2009.
Perhaps I'm the only herself alive in the U.S. who hasn't seen the 1954 integument version of this story starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. However, I didn't sense left out and was utterly enchanted by this fairytale-like Broadway model of the musical set in the post World War II era.
Feel-usefulness Christmas stories are timeless, and if you're looking for a insubstantial and fun family activity, this show would be your ticket. As I gazed across the around full, beautiful Bass Hall, I saw an audience dolled up in red sequins and feathers rivaling the festively costumed performers and creating a panorama Christmas birthday for my eyes that flowed from the stage to the back walls.
Although I enjoyed ogling the wonderful costumes designed by Carrie Robbins, I didn't watch any suspense in this show, not surprisingly. It's a red/green, white, fluffy Christmas show with a utterly predictable "nice" plot, but I'm good with that. With all the struggle in the world today, it's quite nice to wiry back in one's seat and lull in a sweet story. The biggest questions tackled were: Will Betty and Bob commingle? Will it snow? Will the inn be filled?
