Irving Berlin's WHITE CHRISTMAS stars, Tony Award® nominee Stephen Bogardus (Love! Valour! Compassion!) and Broadway favorite Kerry O'Malley (Into the Woods), visited WNYC Radio's "The Leonard Lopate Show" yesterday, Tuesday December 23rd for a live sit down interview with the award winning host.

The pair who star as couple "Bob Wallace" and "Betty Haynes" discuss the musical legacy of Irving Berlin and the thrill of performing in Broadway's highest grossing musical during the holiday season direct from the heart of Times Square.

The new musical stage reinvention of the classic film is playing a limited engagement on Broadway through January 4th, 2009 only - guaranteeing New York a white Christmas! Irving Berlin's WHITE CHRISTMAS began previews on November 14th and officially opened on November 23rd.

Featuring a cast of 33, Irving Berlin'S WHITE CHRISTMAS also stars Jeffry Denman (The Producers) as "Phil Davis" and Meredith Patterson (42nd Street) as "Judy Haynes."

The musical tells the story of two showbiz buddies who put on a show in a picturesque Vermont inn, and find their perfect mates in the bargain. Full of dancing, laughter and some of the greatest songs ever written, Irving Berlin's WHITE CHRISTMAS promises to be a merry and bright theatrical experience for the entire family.
