Irving Berlin's "White Christmas"- Single tickets: $58-At The Wick-Theatre & Costume Museum-Don't miss this show: songs you'll know and love, great dancing (a few fantastic tap dance numbers), heartwarming story–A Classic, owing to the Golden Age Hollywood musical of the same name, directed by Michael Curtiz in 1954- The plot is enjoyable showbiz fluff about song-and-dance men who fall in love with a talented sister act and band together to save the Vermont inn run by their former commanding general. But the show will probably forever endure thanks to its memorabe Irving Berlin songs, including “Sisters,” “Blue Skies,” “I Love a Piano” and, of course, “White Christmas.” 7901 N.

Good Quotes
~Plato, said, "You can discover more about a person in an hour of play, than in a year of conversation."
~Every child should have 2 things: a dog, and a mother who let him have one.
~When asked whether he ever confused a Bordeaux with a Burgundy in a blind tasting, British wine legend Harry Waugh replied: "Not since lunch.
"Look, I eat really well and I work out, but I also indulge when I want to. I don't starve myself in an extremist way. You're not taking away my coffee or my dairy or my glass of wine because I'd be devastated."
Jennifer Aniston
