History

Paramount Pictures released the movie musical White Christmas in 1954. Directed by Michael Curtiz, the film starred Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen, and featured 17 songs by Irving Berlin. As the highest-grossing film musical of its time, White Christmas became the top box office success of 1954 and remains a beloved holiday classic.

The stage adaptation of White Christmas premiered on Broadway at the Marquis Theatre on November 4, 2008, following several successful productions across the United States. Directed by Walter Bobbie and starring Stephen Bogardus, Jeffry Denman, Kerry O’Malley, and Meredith Patterson, the production quickly became a favorite with audiences and returned to Broadway the following year with a new cast led by James Clow, Tony Yazbeck, Melissa Errico, and Mara Davi.
