Celebrate the great American Songbook at Salisbury Playhouse this Christmas with a sparkling evening of music by Irving Berlin.

Equally at home on Broadway or in Hollywood, Berlin wrote scores for classic musicals, including the phenomenally successful Annie Get Your Gun, and movies such as Top Hat, There's No Business Like Show Business and White Christmas.

In this newly compiled musical celebration - combining original versions with exciting new arrangements - three singers tell stories about love, life and laughter, through songs drawn from this prolific composer's extraordinary repertoire.

Come and enjoy such enduring hits as Cheek to Cheek, Alexander's Ragtime Band, White Christmas and, of course, Let's Face the Music and Dance, in this perfect musical evening for the festive season.

The cast includes Helen Anker (Parade at the Donmar Warehouse), Edward Baker-Duly (Gone with the Wind) and Melanie La Barrie (Mary Poppins and Les Miserables), accompanied on the piano by Musical Director Stuart Hutchinson. Director Simon Green last appeared at the Playhouse in 2005 in Relative Values.
