Brighton High School Musical Theater Presents White Christmas

Brighton High School Musical Theater presents the musical White Christmas December 4-13 in the Brighton Center for Performing Arts

The Brighton High School Musical Theater is proud to present the timeless holiday musical, White Christmas. The show is based on the beloved film, and this heartwarming musical adaptation includes seventeen classic Irving Berlin songs that will have you humming along and tapping your toes!


Veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II. With romance on the mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which happens to be owned by Bob and Phil’s former army commander. Love and comedy reign as the four try to pull together to help a friend in need. 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, White Christmas promises to be a merry and bright experience for the entire family!

Brighton High School prides itself in providing one of the premier musical programs in the area… regardless of the age of the cast. Please join us in this “holiday card come to life” and see for yourself why Brighton High School Musical Theater is gaining a reputation as “surprisingly above the average high school musical.” We think you’ll count this as one of your favorite theater experiences all year!
