Inspired by the popular 1954 film of the same title, Irving Berlin's White Christmas will feature Gruber as Bob Wallace, Ward as Betty Haynes, MacInnis as Phil Davis and Kelly as Judy Haynes.

White Christmas includes the Berlin songs "Snow," "Sisters," "Blue Skies," "I Love a Piano," "Count Your Blessings" and the title song. The musical follows two army veterans turned vaudevillian hoofers who team with a pair of songbird sisters to save a Vermont inn run by a retired army general. Designing the resident Houston production are Tony-nominated designers Anna Louizos (set) and Carrie Robbins (costumes), both of whom designed the current Broadway production of the holiday musical at the Marquis Theatre. The 2004 stage adaptation – with a book by David Ives and Paul Blake – premiered in San Francisco. With direction by Bobbie and choreography by Randy Skinner, the premiere spawned several sit-down productions across the U.S. and began its Broadway premiere Nov. 14 at the Marquis.
