San Francisco, Los Angeles and Boston will each have a White Christmas this holiday season as the Irving Berlin musical plays in three separate productions in those cities.

"The musical tells the story of two showbiz buddies putting on a show in a picturesque Vermont inn, and finding their perfect mates in the bargain," according to press notes. White Christmas, which will feature a book by David Ives (All in the Timing) and Paul Blake in addition to classic Berlin songs, will boast direction by Tony Award-winner Walter Bobbie (Chicago) and choreography by Randy Skinner (42nd Street) in its three productions.

In San Francisco, the show will star Graham Rowat as Bob Wallace, Kate Baldwin as Betty Haynes, Mark Ledbetter as Phil Davis and Shannon O'Bryan as Judy Haynes. The same roles will be played in Los Angeles by Brian d'Arcy James, Anastasia Barzee, Jeffry Denman and Meredith Patterson; Ruth Williamson and David Ogden Stiers will also be featured in that production. The cast of the Boston staging will be announced soon.
