If you're dreaming of a White Christmas, one is coming to Kent - in musical form.

Irving Berlin’s classic musical White Christmas - which features the song made famous by Bing Crosby in the 1942 film - will be at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury.

The musical tells the story of veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis who, fuelled by love, follow the Haynes sisters Betty and Judy to a Vermont lodge for a special Christmas show. They then find the lodge happens to be owned by their old Army General and is in desperate need of their help.

The show features the classic songs Blue Skies, Sisters, I Love A Piano and the famous festive title song, White Christmas.

Mamma Mia!, Chicago and Cats star Sally Ann Triplett, who represented the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest twice in the 80s, plays Martha Watson.
