Irving Berlin's White Christmas Reviews

Broadway Lover from Atlanta, Georgia

DISAPPOINTING

After 28 years as Broadway season ticket holders at The Fox Atlanta, this was about the worst show we have seen. Dull, plodding, boring, and oh so predictable. The most cringe worthy jokes. Singing was just so so. Dancing was just so so. Cast was mostly just average, certainly not on par with what we usually see at The Fox. We left at intermission and glad we did. We heard from friends that the second act was even worse than the first. We do not enjoy giving bad reviews, but hopefully we can prevent someone else from wasting their money.

GREAT PERFORMANCES

Performers were very talented, however set decoration, costuming, choreography and production left me confused and disappointed. Adaptation of story was off putting. Looking forward to high points of the story line and most were missing. Would not recommend!

BLUE CHRISTMAS

Loved the Bing Crosby movie so hoped this play would be good. Sets were high school and so was the play. Singing and dancing were average to poor. The 2 annoying, bimbo ladies were not necessary...Was this an attempt at humor, for who? So disappointed, we left at intermission. Paid so much money for the tickets and went on Christmas Eve...huge let down.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING

I've enjoyed most of the touring company shows at the PAC immensely over the past 20 years. However, "White Christmas" was a train wreck. The biggest problem was the book of the show. The producers clearly chose to stray from the plot and characters from the film, but the changes were bad ones -- from almost eliminating the army sequence at the beginning to materially enlarging the parts of the housekeeper (who turns out to have been in show business!) and the young girl, Susan(who suddenly turns into Lucille Ball and wants to be in the show!). There were also some odd choices in staging the songs. In the film, "Snow" is a small intimate number where the four lead characters blend their talents and we see that they belong together. In the play, it's an ensemble number sung with strangers. Some of the costuming choices were odd as well (red tuxedos for the closing scene instead of Santa outfits!). The tap dancing was great and the singing was fine, but no one matches Bing.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!

I paid two hundred and fifty dollars to sit in the second row. What a waste of time and money. I've seen many plays at the fifth avenue that were incredible. This was semi sloppy almost high school like. How dare they present a production as underwhelming as this. It never took off in fact it kept dive bombing. They definitely spent very little money on the sets. Please save your money this year it is definitely not worth your time or money. Trust me.
