Synopsis:
Based on the beloved, timeless film, this heartwarming musical adaptation features 17 Irving Berlin songs and a book by David Ives and Paul Blake. Veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II. With romance in mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters on route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be owned by Bob and Phil’s former army commander. With a dazzling score featuring well-known standards including “Blue Skies,” “I Love A Piano,” “How Deep Is the Ocean” and the perennial title song, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas is an uplifting, wholesome musical that will delight audiences of all ages.

Available Roles:
Bob Wallace – late 30’s to early 50’s, a superb singer with a crooning style who moves well
Phil Davis – mid 20’s to mid-40s, strong jazz and tap-dancing needed – a song-and-dance comic performer
Betty Haynes – a female singer of quiet beauty and charm
Judy Haynes – early 20s, strong jazz and tap-dancing needed – a major song-and-dance performer
General Henry Waverly – 50s to mid-60s
Martha Watson – late 40s to mid-70s, a winning, appealing character-comedienne
Susan Waverly – 9 years old, spunky, good singer

Thalian Association Community Theatre proudly presents "Steel Magnolias" playing at Historic Thalian Hall. Special thank you to Wallaby Film Productions for this amazing commercial! Dates: Friday, February 9, 2024 - Sunday, February 18, 2024 Friday - Saturday Time: 7:30 pm Sunday Time: 2:00 pm Main Stage Thalian Hall 310 Chestnut St, Wilmington, NC 28401 By Robert Harling The action is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter Shelby is about to marry a “good ole boy.” Filled with hilarious repartee and acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength and love which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and amiable company in good times and bad.

Elf the Musical will be showing at Historic Thalian Hall on the Tony Rivenbark Main Stage from December 7-17 with additional performances on Thursday (December 7 & 14) and a matinee performance on Saturday (December 16) at 2:00pm.
