Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye run interference for Rosemary Clooney and Vera Allen in "White Christmas."

What started out as a lark in 1983 has turned into one of the Music Box Theatre's signature events: their annual holiday sing-along is now an event covering eight nights on the theater's schedule with tickets selling out well in advance.

We say this because tickets to the 29th annual edition are now on sale. Choose between singing holiday carols before It's a Wonderful Life, White Christmas, or both, if you're inclined. Start practicing hissing at Mr. Potter, yelling "hot dog!" when George Bailey wishes for a million dollars, whinnying like a donkey whenever Sam Wainwright speaks, marvel at how hot Donna Reed looks as an old maid, and train your baritone to sing Irving Berlin's "Sisters."

Here are the dates and showtimes. Call the Music Box Theatre Box Office 4-9 p.m. daily at 773-871-6607 to purchase tickets over the phone or in person. Groups of 20 or more can email groups@musicboxtheatre.com or call the box office.
