NEW YORK—The Roundabout Theatre Company production of the 1942 film with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire, “Holiday Inn,” will be an early Christmas present for Irving Berlin lovers. While not the great American drama, it is a light, fun-filled show providing classic Irving Berlin music, excellent choreography by Denis Jones, and beautiful costumes by Alejo Vietti.
The production has followed the film story faithfully: A successful nightclub trio of singers/dancers is about to break up. Jim Hardy (the Bing Crosby role here played by Bryce Pinkham) decides to give up show business for a farm in Connecticut, hoping to settle down with one of his act’s partners, Lila Dixon (Megan Sikora).
