WHITE CHRISTMAS Opens Tonight at The Music Hall

Tonight, Irving Berlin's White Christmas the Broadway musical opens at The Music Hall in downtown Portsmouth. Presented in a partnership between The Music Hall and the Ogunquit Playhouse, this production marks the largest show on The Music Hall's stage and the largest show of Ogunquit's season. This delightful classic stars Broadway veteran Jeffry Denman reprising his role as Phil Davis, which he played to critical acclaim on Broadway, and Broadway's Joey Sorge, who starred in the Ogunquit production of Nice Work If You Can Get It earlier this season, as Bob Wallace. The singing Haynes sisters are played by Broadway actresses Kate Loprest as Betty, and Vanessa Sonon as Judy. Complete with magical sets and iconic songs, the show is a Christmas Card come to life.

"The costumes, the set, the dancing, White Christmas evokes the excitement about Christmas that you felt as a child. It's a true delight,"said Patricia Lynch, Executive Director of The Music Hall. "What a holiday treat."

White Christmas runs December 9-20 at The Music Hall's Historic Theater. For tickets please visit www.themusichall.org, call the box office at 603 436-2400, or visit the box office at 28 Chestnut Street in Downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
