Description

Merry Christmas, fellow filthy Broadway animals! We've moved on from the movie musical into the holidays, and this Irving Berlin musical covers all of them. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, Arbor Day, Labor Day... Let's check into the Broadway adaptation of the classic '40s movie musical "Holiday Inn," filmed live in 2017 for Broadway HD. This musical has everything: jump rope tapping, firework dancing, and a little Hallmark Channel romance realness. So snuggle up with your apple pie and a cup of hot chocolate (or whatever floats your Christmas boat), and welcome to the Holiday Inn!

Note: This episode contains some (mostly irreverent, but still) discussion of blackface. If this topic is any way triggering for you, skip ahead after the plot summary to the next musical break.
