Merry Christmas, Bros! In honor of today's holiday, we're diving into the beautifully costumed, exuberantly danced, gorgeously sung holiday classic -- it'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry, it'll make you say "Wait a minute... how old is Bing Crosby anyway??" That's right, it's Michael Curtiz's WHITE CHRISTMAS! And we're joined by special guest DAN FENAUGHTY, a star of stage and screen -- currently starring as Bob Wallace in Tuacahn's production of IRVING BERLIN'S WHITE CHRISTMAS!
