"Based on the beloved classic 1954 movie musical of the same name, Irving Berlin's White Christmas is a heartwarming and nostalgic show chock-full of classic Berlin tunes and a storyline that beautifully captures the joy of the holiday season....Zao Theatre's production radiates warmth, joy, and holiday festiveness, with a great cast, impressive choreography, and crisp direction....Director Michael E. Bryce does a wonderful job ensuring his cast create realistic characters, that the comic moments don't overpower the dramatic ones, and that the show moves along with well-choreographed scene changes. With several numbers that build into striking showstopping moments, Laura Christian's choreography is excellent, energetic, and danced quite well by the large cast....The cast are excellent. Trent Rasmussen has the right blend of charisma, warmth, and vulnerability as Bob. Chris Fidler is funny and comical as the confident and charismatic Phil. His singing shines, his dance steps are professional, and he creates an entirely lovable character. As Betty and Judy Haynes, Gina Kim and Brianne Gobeski have gorgeous singing voices, warmth in their line delivery, and rich clarity in their portrayals...the entire cast deliver rich harmonies and gorgeous vocals under James May’s music direction…evokes the warmth, sentimentality, and magic associated with the holiday season." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
