White Christmas for cold people
Seeing White Christmas is like stepping into a kind of weird time machine. Based on all the reviews I’ve seen, it seems like it’s almost a shot-for-shot replay of the original musical and movie. The music is great and the story is just as fun as ever. But you’d think they could come up with something else that’s new. It’s hardly even special. It is one of the more successful shows playing right now on Broadway, but that’s not saying too much. Then again, people like to see an old standard performed just as it used to be. So I guess it’s not a mistake to use the old staging techniques this time around either.
