The Music Hall Reveals Upcoming Holiday Events, Announces Cancellation of WHITE CHRISTMAS Image

The Music Hall has announced that it will not be able to stage the Ogunquit Playhouse production of Irving Berlin's White Christmas this year.

"Unfortunately, after careful consideration and consultation on the size and scale of the White Christmas production, coupled with the ongoing uncertainty with the pandemic, we have made the tough choice to cancel this year's show," says Tina Sawtelle, The Music Hall's Executive Director. "Rest assured, White Christmas will return to The Music Hall in the future! We are, however, pleased to offer a wide assortment of holiday events this year at varied price points to appeal to our audiences."
