Made at Curve’s critically-acclaimed production of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas The Musical will return with a new UK tour next winter.
Produced by Jamie Wilson, Mark Goucher, Gavin Kalin and Kevin McCollum, the 2022 festive tour will open at Nottingham Theatre Royal on 22 November 2022. Full casting will be announced in due course.
The seasonal production will follow its Nottingham Theatre Royal run which will end on 26 November 2022 by visiting Sunderland Empire from 28 November until 3 December 2022 before playing a Christmas season at the Liverpool Empire from 6-31 December 2022.
Reuniting Curve’s award-winning artistic director Nikolai Foster with double Olivier Award-winning choreographer Stephen Mear, the hit production debuted at Curve in December 2018. Set design is by Michael Taylor with costume design by Diego Pitarch, musical supervision by Stephen Brooker, lighting design by Mark Henderson and sound design by Tom Marshall. Orchestrations are by Larry Blank with new musical arrangements by Jason Carr.
Based on the much-loved 1954 Paramount Pictures film, White Christmas boasts music and lyrics by Irving Berlin and a book by David Ives and Paul Blake. Written for the screen by Norman Krasna, Norman Panama and Melvin Frank, the stage version debuted in 2000 in St Louis. Curve’s production is based on the original 2008 Broadway stage production directed by Walter Bobbie.
