“Irving Berlin's White Christmas is making it's triumpant return to the Fox Theatre”

We have some great early bird specials so please keep reading.
This will be the second year the lavish Fox Theatre will host this musical.  We love the Gem and Fisher Theatres but nothing compares to the Fox.  In 1988, the Fox went through a $12 million renovation thanks to the Illitch family.  When originally constructed in 1928 by 20th Century Fox founder, William Fox, it had no equal.  It was the first theatre with live sound.  If you get a chance, during intermission sneak up to the top balcony and look at the detail in the ceiling, pillars and chandelier.  Absolutely, fabulous!!!

About the play.  White Christmas the movie grossed over $12,000,000 in theatre rentals in 1954 and was the #1 money making picture that same year. The film was originally supposed to be the third Bing Crosby/Fred Astaire/Irving Berlin Musical but Fred Astaire got sick and was replaced by Donald O'Connor who also got sick and he was replaced by Danny Kaye. The story centers around two successful Broadway partners who become romantically involved with sisters. On vacation in
Vermont
, they stay at a ski resort owned by their old Army General where they are the only guests because there is no snow. They boys help the General by staging their Broadway bound revue at the resort. They make a television appeal to their army buddies to show up on Christmas Eve. They do, it snows and everyone sings "White Christmas."

Here is the deal. 
Cost:  $99 per person
Special:  Book before April 15th $79 per person save $20.
Includes:  Gallery A seating, lunch or dinner at Traffic Jam and Snug, motor coach or limo coach transportation.
Deposit to hold tickets:  $100 due by May 1st.

November 19th 2:00 PM Matinee
November 20th 2:00 PM Matinee
