It Will Be a White Christmas at the Palace

A flurry of fun is in the forecast for Waterbury when the Palace Theater presents five performances of Irving Berlin's White Christmas, the acclaimed stage adaptation of the beloved classic film, Nov. 6-8.

The Palace Theater will serve as the first stop on the production’s National Tour, which will be traveling Knoxville, Newport, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Providence, Rochester and Schenectady during the 2015 holiday season.

White Christmas tells the story of two showbiz buddies putting on a show in a picturesque Vermont inn and finding their perfect mates in the bargain. Full of dancing, romance, laughter and some of the greatest songs ever written, including "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep," "Happy Holiday," "Sisters," "Blue Skies," and the unforgettable title song.
