Actor Stephen Bogardus ’76, right, has taken the role of Bob Wallace, played by Bing Crosby in the 1954 movie “White Christmas,” for the musical’s Broadway debut. Running through Jan. 4 at the Marquis Theatre, the Irving Berlin musical — complete with classic songs including “White Christmas,” “Blue Skies,” and “How Deep Is the Ocean,” period costumes, and a full orchestra — tells the story of Broadway partners who put on a show in a Vermont inn and find love. Bogardus, who has performed in other Broadway productions (including “West Side Story” and “Man of La Mancha”), was nominated for a Tony Award for best supporting actor for his 1995 role in “Love! Valour! Compassion!”
