Break Out the Balloons! Corbin Bleu, Lora Lee Gayer & Bryce Pinkham Begin Performances in Holiday Inn

Rabbit, rabbit—Holiday Inn, The New Irving Berlin Musical begins performances at Studio 54 on September 1! Helmed by Gordon Greenberg and penned by the director and Chad Hodge, Holiday Inn stars Broadway.com vlogger Corbin Bleu, Lora Lee Gayer and Bryce Pinkham in the colorful stage adaptation of the Oscar-winning film that touted names like Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. The production is scheduled to officially open on October 6.

Pinkham takes on Bing Crosby's role as Jim, who, upon leaving the bright lights of show business behind to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut, quickly discovers life isn’t the same without a bit of song and dance. His luck takes a spectacular turn when he meets Gayer's character Linda; together, they turn the farmhouse into a fabulous inn with dazzling performances to celebrate each holiday, from Christmas to the Fourth of July. Bleu follows in Fred Astaire's fancy footsteps as Ted, Jim's best friend who tries to lure Linda away to be his new dance partner in Hollywood.

The cast also features Megan Lawrence as Louise, Megan Sikora as Lila Dixon and Lee Wilkof as Danny.
