"I'm dreaming of a White Christmas ..." Are these the most memorable lyrics to a Christmas song ever? It's quite possible, as Bing Crosby's original rendition is an all-time classic that has spanned generations and remains a favourite today amongst those who love the festive season. However, it's easy to forget that the song actually originated from the movie Holiday Inn, with a revised version by Bing coming to life in the 1954 movie of the same name, directed by Irving Berlin.
And it is the latter movie, White Christmas, which is the inspiration for this theatre production by BOST Musicals that is currently running the Liverpool Empire Theatre. Given that the movie was released more than 60 years ago, and that the general feel of the show is nostalgic and old-fashioned (which isn't a negative, by the way), it should be no surprise that the target audience for this stage adaptation is the older generation, many of whom will have seen the movie and would likely have fond memories of it.
