GREAT PERFORMANCES: “IRVING BERLIN’S HOLIDAY INN”
November 24, 2017  | By David Bianculli

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

 
SPECIAL PREMIERE: Holiday Inn is another Broadway musical that was filmed, and shown in select movie theaters at the same time it was performed live, by BroadwayHD. This co-production with New York’s WNET-Ch. 13 now surfaces on PBS’s “Broadway Best” lineup – and by the way, I still haven’t gotten to the bottom of the story why last week’s scheduled production of the Harold Prince tribute musical mysteriously vanished. But this sort of jukebox modern musical mash-up of various Irving Berlin hits includes "Cheek to Cheek, “Heat Wave” (pictured), and, unavoidably, “White Christmas.” Bryce Pinkham and Megan Lawrence are among the repertory company’s stars. Check local listings. (Especially after last week.)
