After losing the Hair and Ragtime lottos, I got a student ticket for White Christmas, and...

I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! It was seriously some of the most fun I've ever had in a Broadway theatre. My seat was in the rear of the center orchestra, and the view was perfect! Unfortunately, most of the seats behind me were empty, but the small audience was very enthusiastic and expressed how much they enjoyed the show afterwards. The cast was uniformly excellent, and the choreography and physical aspects were dazzling! It's by no means a sophisticated or thought-provoking show, but I was grinning the whole time, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't tear up towards the end.
By all means see it! It was well-worth the $40 price, and I'm looking forward to seeing it again in the near or distant future!

I'm so excited about this! I have plans to go with my friend next weekend, it will get me in the mood for the Holidays.

I thought the choreography from last year was great. Randy Skinner is a phenomenal choreographer. And I'm a dancer with picky taste.

And yes...it is the same wonderful choreography.

Honestly, I think White Christmas is such a great show that echoes back to the "Golden Age" of Broadway. When I saw the show, I felt like I was back in the 1950's seeing such a great show.

I also felt the same way when I saw Curtains for some reason.

I enjoyed the Act 2 opening.

I saw the show two weeks ago and didn't enjoy it as much as I did last year or the previous year when I saw the tour in Boston. The tap dancing is amazing, but I just can't put my finger on why I didn't like it as much. Some of the "zip" seemed to be gone (IMO), and some of the characters are extrememly annoying (snoring man, Ezekiel and the two bimbos in the chorus who weren't even close to being funny). I blame that on the book and direction.

Philly03, Errico was amazing! Her voice fits the style of the music perfectly, though I would have liked to hear her belt more- when she did, it was incredible!

I actually thought the guy who played Ezekiel and Snoring Man stole the show and was hilarious! The little girl and the "bimbos" were clearly written to be somewhat annoying, and I thought those actresses all did very well with what they were given.

Winston, the guy at the BO was very specific that it had to be a college ID, and he closely inspected mine (then again, I don't look old enough to be a college student).

And yes, I absolutely felt like I was watching a show during the Golden Age. It was THAT good!

bwaylvsong, I am aware that it has to be a college ID. However, there was a thread started by someone else about how they tried to do the student rush with their college ID. The end result being that despite the fact that he had a college ID, the person at the box office refused him business because the box office person felt that it wasn't from an accredited school.

You should be very thankful that Susan Mansur is not associated with White Christmas this year. Her performance as Martha had to be one of the most painful and amateurish performances I have ever seen on a Broadway stage.
