Irving Berlin's White Christmas

The Ordway has tapped A-list Twin Cities talent for its revival of this holiday favorite that sold out previous runs. Dieter Bierbrauer and Brian Sostek will play the song-and-dance duo of Bob Wallace and Phil Davis, who follow their heart to Maine for romance. Ann Michels and Jenny Piersol play singing sisters Betty and Judy Haynes in an Ordway original production that also features Natalie Tran, Valerie Wick and, if history is prelude, bubbly snow. In addition to the title song, the musical numbers include "Blue Skies" and "I Love a Piano." (Previews 7:30 p.m. Fri. and 2 p.m. Sat., opens 7:30 p.m. Sat., 2 p.m. Sun., 7:30 p.m. Wed. & Thu. Ends Dec. 31. Ordway Center, 345 Washington St., St Paul. $34-$159.50. 651-224-4222 or ordway.org.)
