Roundabout Theatre Company, in association with Universal Stage Productions, has announced that the first-ever Broadway production of Holiday Inn, THE NEW IRVING BERLIN MUSICAL will star Tony Award nominee Bryce Pinkham (A Gentleman's Guide..., The Heidi Chronicles) as "Jim," Lora Lee Gayer (Doctor Zhivago, Follies) as "Linda," Tony Award nominee Megan Lawrence (The Pajama Game, Hair) as "Louise," Megan Sikora (The Nance, How to Succeed...) as "Lila Dixon," with Corbin Bleu (In the Heights, Godspell) as "Ted" and Tony Award nominee Lee Wilkof (Kiss Me, Kate, Breakfast at Tiffany's) as "Danny." With music and lyrics by Irving Berlin, Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge's new book is inspired by the Academy Award-winning film, Holiday Inn.

Directed by Gordon Greenberg and choreographed by Denis Jones, Holiday Inn, The New Irving Berlin Musical will begin preview performances on September 1, 2016, and open officially on October 6, 2016, on Broadway at Studio 54 (254 West 54th Street). This will be a limited engagement.

Holiday Inn, The New Irving Berlin Musical tells the story of Jim, who leaves the bright lights of show business behind to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut. He quickly discovers life isn't the same without a bit of song and dance. Jim's luck takes a spectacular turn when he meets Linda, a spirited schoolteacher with talent to spare. Together they turn the farmhouse into a fabulous inn with dazzling performances to celebrate each holiday, from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July. But when Jim's best friend Ted tries to lure Linda away to be his new dance partner in Hollywood, will Jim be able to salvage his latest chance at love?

The new musical features over 20 classic songs from the Irving Berlin catalogue including "Steppin' Out With My Baby," "Shaking the Blues Away," "Easter Parade," "Cheek to Cheek" and "Heatwave."

The creative team for Holiday Inn, The New Irving Berlin Musical will include Anna Louizos (Sets), Alejo Vietti (Costumes), Jeff Croiter (Lights), Keith Caggiano (Sound), Joe Dulude II (Make?up), Chuck LaPointe (Wigs), Andy Einhorn (Music Director/ Supervisor), Larry Blank (Orchestrations), Sam Davis (Vocal & Dance Arrangements), Bruce Pomahac (Additional Dance & Vocal Arrangements), John Miller (Music Coordinator).

Final casting will be announced shortly.
