Irving Berlin's most famous song comes to life on stage, through
incredible dance numbers, exquisite costumes and a heart warming story
that - despite it's name - actually has little to do with Christmas!
"I
think it has a lot ot do with being thankful. So I think it's just as
much a Thanksgiving show as it is Christmas. It's not until the last
scene that it takes place on Christmas Eve" says cast member Ruth
Williamson
What you see on stage is based on the 1954 movie, but the stage adaptation offers much more than you've ever seen on screen!
"The
stage version has more music, more big dance numbers with the entire
company, fantastic tap routines that will knock your socks off and some
songs that aren't in the movie that are unknown" says Williamson.
The storyline follows two song and dance men who are coming to help save their former army buddy.
The
general has retired to an inn that isn't doing very well so these two
guys decide to put on a show in his barn and save the inn" says
Williamson.
And like with most musical comedy - there is some romance.
"I
play Martha Watson who is the concierge of Inn, in which the general
owns. I am kind of his romantic interest" says Williamson.
The cast says that so far Nashville has been a great audience.
"They are so warm and lovely. We walked away floating on air after the show Tuesday night"
You too can join in on the family friendly, toe tapping fun, from now until Sunday night!
"It's check your mind at the door and come be entertained"

Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert at country fest
May 24, 2013 18:26 GMT
By CHEVEL JOHNSON Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The sounds of country music take over the City of Baton Rouge as the Bayou Country Superfest brings some of the genre's biggest names to LSU's Tiger Stadium for a Memorial Day holiday jamfest.
Headlining Saturday are Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker and Aaron Lewis, the former frontman for rock band Staind. The two-day festival concludes Sunday with performances by Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan and The Band Perry.
Festival producer Quint Davis says the talent and free fan fest held before the nightly concerts help to entice attendees. In its fourth year, the festival drew 75,000 people last year.
Visit Baton Rouge executive vice president Renee Areng says Superfest has encouraged people to travel to Baton Rouge on a traditionally sleepy weekend.
