It\u2019s a compilation of the best parts of the movie, \u201cHoliday Inn,\u201d and highlights from other Berlin musicals, such as \u201cCall Me Madam\u201d and \u201cMiss Liberty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Knowing that the stage version of \u201cHoliday Inn\u201d has only been produced once before and that the leading man and lady are real-life newlyweds adds some intrigue for the audience. Colin Donnell, who plays Jim Hardy, demonstrates his vocal abilities when he sings \u201cBlue Skies\u201d and \u201cEaster Parade,\u201d as well as some new songs written for this show. And Patti Murin (Linda Mason) sings her way into Jim\u2019s heart with \u201cCheek to Cheek\u201d and other new songs. The honeymooning pair has such chemistry that their duet of \u201cWhite Christmas\u201d seems warm and cozy in July.<\/p>\n<p>The dancers nearly steal the show when they break into a tap dance and jump rope while tapping to \u201cShaking the Blues Away.\u201d The audience ignited with each dance number and the ensemble deserves the thunderous applause.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHoliday Inn\u201d is a story of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy meets new girl, boy and girl celebrate a year of holidays, and then they finally marry. The main characters have a show business background in common and they use their musical talents to fuel their romance and pay the mortgage on the farmhouse.<\/p>\n<p>Supporting actors Nancy Opel, Danny Rutigliano, and young Phoenix Lawson add some necessary spunk to this show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHoliday Inn\u201d is playing at The Muny through Sunday, July 12.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-Pat Lindsey-<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0This week\u2019s Muny production of Irving Berlin\u2019s \u201cHoliday Inn\u201d is the newest show this season, but its 1940s settings and songs make it seem very old.
