Audience Comments

"I have seen this play three times and every year it puts me into the Christmas spirit. I brought five of my family members to it this year and they thoroughly enjoyed the singing and dancing. A must-see"
—Helen

"After many years of watching the original movie White Christmas, I couldn't help but compare lead male singers with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye, but as the show progressed that went out the door. I thoroughly enjoyed this musical, especially the interaction between the cast and the audience - including the participation aspect. What a wonderful experience – well-acted. The sets were terrific, which often times can disappoint when making comparisons. Great job - well done"
—Kate

"The White Christmas production at the Arts Club's Stanley theatre easily equals or surpasses any production we've seen in Toronto and New York. The sets, dancing, beautiful singing, top notch performers and stage direction all contributed to a very professional and entertaining show. Thank you to all"
—Loren and Cathy

"I had a wonderful time at White Christmas this past weekend. The props were great, especially the end scene when the barn doors were opened and it was snowing! Lovely. Thank You"
—Judy, Vancouver

"We both loved it!"
—Sarah

"It was GREAT! I believe I liked it better than the movie - with the other added songs and great tap dancing too! Made me want to join a class to learn. I hope you continue to do this performance every year and I really loved the venue - every seat in the house is a good one!"
—Patty, North Vancouver

"I had a lovely time attending White Christmas last night. From the beginning I had excellent service, as the person who I had purchased a ticket to go with me could not attend, and the woman at the box office was very kind and gave me the amount back in gift certificate form. You can bet that I will be using that in the near future, and will spread the word about how awesome you all are. As for the production, it was phenomenal. White Christmas is a movie that I was brought up on so being able to see it on stage was a great treat, especially because it was done so well. Everyone who I interacted with was kind, and upbeat which made this for a very pleasant evening. Thank you very much for having me, and for having the Student Rush tickets, I will be back again!"
—Jaimee, Nakusp

"I have seen the movie countless times and this is my 2nd year at the Stanley production. I wondered if I needed to see it again—the answer is yes. It is the perfect way to get me in the Christmas spirit. When the snow starts to fall so do the tears. It evokes precious memories of Christmases past. What a talented cast. It was a special evening with my children (39 and 32). So we will see you next year with even more of my family!!!"
—Theresa, North Vancouver

"My daughter, new son-in-law, and husband attended with me and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. It was not at all what we were expecting and all were pleasantly surprised. The performers did a marvelous job. I heard pieces that I hadn't heard since singing them with my parents. Don' cha just love Irving!

We were expecting a decent production and I wondered how it would go from the movie to the stage. WOW, did you ever nail it. Excellent vocals, excellent dance numbers and we were blown away by the theatre and the entire production. I think I recommended the show to a couple of dozen people just today. We look forward to returning to other Arts Club productions"
—Dave, Burnaby

"Awesome!!!"
—Trina, Surrey

"A great start to the Christmas season. We had the whole family out to this musical. By the end of the night, we were all singing Christmas carols and had thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. On the way home, the teenagers began a discussion about what it is like for those soldiers who are away at Christmas. Great time!"
—Rose, Coquitlam

"If I had one show that I could recommend over the Christmas season to get you into the festive mood it would be by far the production of "White Christmas."

—Linda

"White Christmas was really stunning this year. Thanks for all the holiday cheer!"
—Mary

"By far one of the best quality productions I have seen at the Arts Club! The two male leads were superb in their performances. Todd Talbot was witty and played the comic role brilliantly, while Jeffrey Victor captured the style and vocal nuance of that era. I was in attendance for the 100 performance. I will be at the 200th as well!"
—Richard

"Very, very enjoyable! Uplifting and if you were not in a Christmas mood yet, the show certainly put you right in it. You could feel the energy of the performers and the chemistry between the characters. This was our second time to see this musical, and it will likely become an annual tradition. Thank you for bringing the show every Christmas season"
—Marie

"The performers were fantastic. The musical was as close to the movie as possible. The singing was great. The actors were soooo believable. The group of 8 that went together, had a fantastic time and would highly recommend the show to everyone. Thank you for the fantastic performance. Will gladly see this again next year if it is here"
—Diane

"White Christmas was fabulous!! I faithfully watch the movie every year at Christmas and was not at all disappointed by the play. Some things were slightly different but for the most part held true to the story. Will go again next year. The singing and dancing were top notch"
—Melanie

"We went to White Christmas last night, with slightly pessimistic anticipation. Being able to quote the movie verbatim as we watch, I wasn't sure a live production could hold a candle to such a classic. Call the fire department. That was a thousand candle performance. Now I understand why it's running every Christmas at the Stanley. Well done!"
—Pam, Vancouver

"Our second time seeing White Christmas was at the 100th performance at the Stanley. It was as fresh as the first time we attended–last year. Many of the performers had been in all 100 shows and it looked like they were all having so much fun especially during the fast-moving tap dancing numbers. Irving Berlin's music makes this such a classic. White Christmas is so engaging and when the tears start rolling down my face I know I have been moved. Congratulations!"
—Russel

Praise for our 2009 production:

"It was wonderful. I loved the dancing, especially the tap."
—Maggie, Delta

"A most uplifting, delightful adaptation of the original White Christmas. A must see by everyone."
—Roger, Richmond

"White Christmas was a top notch production. The acting, singing, and staging were terrific. The tap dancing numbers were really well choreographed and the dancers looked like they enjoyed every moment. We were blown away by the young girl's singing, dancing and acting. One noticeable thing was that even though it was a play the actors were so convincing it did not seem like they were acting. My husband and I and our two adult daughters loved every minute and think it is the perfect prescription for getting in the holiday spirit."
—Diane, Langley

"A wonderful way to spend an afternoon. I would love to see it again but understand it is sold out! Everything stage sets..costuming and of course the actors.....perfect!"
—Dianne

"We had a wonderful evening and my curiousity was satisfied about how a movie production would translate to a stage production.
Very well indeed, the set was very clever and the costumes very rich and sumptuous to the eye.
Very well done and a magical night of music. Thank you."
—Karen, West Vancouver

"This is one of the tightest musicals I have ever seen outside of Broadway and London's West end.! White Christmas is a delight and audiences leave the theatre humming the familiar theme. The Arts Club’s production remains true to the film and the Vancouver cast is every bit as talented and entertaining as their better known film counterparts. If you do nothing else this Christmas season rush to the Stanley Theatre and beg for a ticket to see this wonderfully warm and fuzzy Christmas Show!"
—Bill, Vancouver

"Very professional, not too long, not too short. Great show. Great music."

—Laurie, Burnaby

"My husband and I saw the show Dec 4. We sat there smiling through the entire performance and we left humming the tunes, which to me is a sign of a good show. Our seats were in the second row and we were able to see clearly what fun these performers have while acting and singing. At one point during a dance number, a hat flew out of a cast member's hand and landed on the pianist's head in the orchestra pit. How everyone kept on going without laughing is beyond me. Well done all!"
—Susan and Thomas, Surrey

—Cyndi, Hope

"My two sisters who were visiting from Kimberley, BC and Victoria and I had a wonderful time seeing White Christmas. Being in our 50's we remember watching this on television every Christmas and singing along with "The Haynes Sisters". We left the theatre singing away and will carry on this memory for a long time. Thank you for putting on these productions!"
—Aldona, New Westminster

"We, along with our friends thought it was a great production. It is good to see 'live productions' on stage and the actor/ess were outstanding.
We attend shows whenever we can and support our community when they stage live productions."
—Sandra, Chilliwack

"My husband and I attended the show on Sunday, November 22 with his parents who are both 87 years old. On behalf of our entire family, thank you so much to the entire cast for filling us all with such joy. You all captured the spirit of the story and it just swept us away. We couldn't stop talking about Jeffrey Victor who played the famous Bing Crosby role, not only did his voice bring Irving Berlin's music justice, but in his eyes we could see straight through to his heart. Thanks again to all!"
—Rose, Richmond

"A wonderful performance, the music the singing and the acting were fantastic"

—Donny, Burnaby

"I was amazed at the stage production of White Christmas. I have watched the movie for about the last ten years and it "tickles my fancy" each and every time. I was not sure how the stage production would stand up in comparison to it. Well, it blew my socks off. The singing and dancing were tremendous, the sets were remarkable and the acting was totally captivating. The whole show zoomed along with a quality of fun that is unsurpassed! White Christmas will put you in the mood for the holiday that will soon be upon us. Do your friend and family a favour and take them out to see this production of the highest caliber."
—Anita, New Westminster

"Every year for the past 14 years, myself and my 3 sisters meet in Vancouver for a 3 day fun fest. We all loved the musical at the gracious Stanly Theatre.

Thank you for all the hard and committed work."

—Wendy, Vancouver

"My daughter and I attend the Arts Club Theatre productions a few times a year, but the offerings during the Christmas season are our favourites. We really enjoyed last Sunday's matinee performance of White Christmas. We appreciate all of the work that goes into a production of this caliber and feel we always get more than our money's worth.
I have been attending Arts Club performances for over 30 years and have never been disappointed. Thanks so much, Bill and Company."
—Sandi, Richmond

"We formed a group called "the Aunts". There were 5 of us but one passed away so there are now 4. Periodically we find an outing and attend together. This Xmas is was "White Christmas".
