OhMyGod: Lemon Likes X-Mas Show

Here’s my review, from the Financial Times, of “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas.” Money quote: “As a child, I rooted for the Grinch to abscond with Christmas, and for Scrooge to hold firm to his parsimonious ways. I dread the holidays, with their endless faux-cheer and pagan-to-Christian rituals. Why, then, could I not only stomach but positively relish the new musical, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, which has managed to transform Broadway’s least-loved theatre, the Marquis, into an addictively sweet wonderland?”
