Bucks County Playhouse’s production of Irving Berlin’s “Holiday Inn” runs Nov. 19 through Jan. 3, featuring songs including “White Christmas” and “Easter Parade.”

“White Christmas,” “Easter Parade” and more Irving Berlin songs will be heard at Bucks County Playhouse this holiday season when the musical “Holiday Inn” comes to New Hope.

The show runs Nov. 19 through Jan. 3, 2027, and features more than 20 songs by Berlin, along with dancing and a romantic story. 

Based on the 1942 film, “Holiday Inn” follows song-and-dance man Jim Hardy after he leaves show business for a quieter life in Connecticut. He turns a farmhouse into an inn that opens only on holidays, but his plans become more complicated when his former performing partner returns.

Eric William Morris, who appeared in Broadway’s “King Kong,” plays Jim. Havertown native Alyse Alan Louis plays Linda Mason, a performer who catches Jim’s eye. Luke Hawkins plays Jim’s former partner Ted Hanover, and Deanna Cudjoe plays their stage partner Lila Dixon.
