IRVING Berlin's fabulous musical White Christmas, starring Craig McLachlan arrives at The Mayflower on Thursday.

Based on the record-breaking box office film of 1954 starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye, White Christmas is a spectacular winter musical with a host of Berlin's best loved song and dance numbers to warm the hearts of both young and old.

Joining Craig, familiar to audiences thanks to Neighbours, Home and Away and Bugs as well as a number of stage shows, are international musical and cabaret star Lorna Luft, Ken Kercheval from Dallas and West End star Tim Flavin.

Brimming with classic Berlin hits like Blue Skies, How Deep is the Ocean, Sisters, I Love a Piano, Happy Holiday and of course the unforgettable title song, White Christmas tells the story of two buddies putting on a show in a magical Vermont inn and finding their perfect mates in the process. With an all-star cast, a company of over 30 singers and dancers, and a dynamic 17-piece orchestra, this spectacular musical is full of tap dancing, laughter and some of the greatest songs ever written.

White Christmas promises to be a merry and bright theatrical experience for the whole family.

White Christmas runs until January 28. Box office: 023 80 71 1811, online at www.the-mayflower.com or in person from Mayflower ticket south, at WestQuay Shopping Centre, Southampton.
