Muny Back After July 4^th Events

With Irving Berlin’s ‘Holiday Inn’

The Muny production of Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn will play the St. Louis venue next week, July 6-12. The Muny did not have shows during the VP Fair which was again held in Forest Park during the July 4^th holidays.

Based on the 1942 film, Holiday Inn features music and lyrics by Irving Berlin with a book by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge. Greenberg will direct the Muny production with choreography by Denis Jones. Musical direction is by James Moore, and vocal and dance arrangements are by Sam Davis with additional arrangements by Bruce Pomahac and orchestrations by Larry Blank.

The cast will be headed by Patti Murin (Linda Mason), Colin Donnell (Jim Hardy), Noah Racey (Ted Hanover), Nancy Opel (Louise), Danny Rutigliano (Danny), Holly Ann Butler (Lila Dixon) and Phoenix Lawson (Charlie).

The ensemble includes Alissa Alter, Matthew Borchers, Stephen Brower, Abby Church, Darien Crago, Caley Crawford, Jeremiah Ginn, Juliane Godfrey, Laura Harrison, Bryan Thomas Hunt, Darrell T. Joe, Sean Jones, Charles Ogilvie MacEachern, Isabelle McCalla, Connor McRory, Drew Nellessen, Amy Van Norstrand, Kelly Sheehan and John T. Wolfe.

The musical, according to press notes, tells “the story of a Connecticut farmhouse transformed into a jubilant nightspot and hotel that is only open on holidays.” Holiday Inn features such Irving Berlin classics as “Happy Holidays,” “Easter Parade,” “White Christmas,” “Be Careful, It’s My Heart” and more.
