Irving Berlin's HOLIDAY INN tells the story of Jim, who leaves the bright lights of show business behind to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut… but life just isn’t the same without a bit of song and dance. Jim’s luck takes a spectacular turn when he meets Linda, a spirited schoolteacher with talent to spare. Together they turn the farmhouse into a fabulous inn with dazzling performances to celebrate each holiday, from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July.
With an in-the-round setup, this musical featured screens that looked like giant greeting cards that were about thirty feet wide by ten feet tall behind the audience. The content was used to show location and create holiday themed looks for the larger dance numbers.
