Are you already dreaming of a White Christmas? We know that Grosse Pointe Theatre has been, as they are currently in rehearsal for their upcoming production of Irving Berlin's White Christmas The Musical! This stage production of the 1954 Paramount Pictures film is perhaps the perfect way to ring in the holiday season, bringing the story that you know and love to life right in front of your eyes!

In this exclusive BSB interview, Marinello and Shugart discuss what drew them to the show and why it feels like the right time to bring White Christmas back to GPT's stage. These two discuss how the stage production differs from the film and the challenges of bringing something as recognizable as White Christmas to life.
