BANDSTAND
7:30 PM
WELCOME HOME! The soldiers came home to a new America and
made music that inspired the nation.
From three-time Tony® winner and Hamilton choreographer, Andy
Blankenbuehler, comes a poignant and inspiring new American
musical that explodes with infectious music and high-octane, heartstopping
dancing.
It’s 1945. As America’s soldiers come home to ticker-tape parades
and overjoyed families, Private First Class Donny Novitski, singer
and songwriter, struggles to rebuild the life he left behind.
next great musical superstars, Donny sees a lifeline for himself
and some fellow veterans that gives them the purpose they so
desperately need. Together, they form a band unlike any the nation
has ever seen. Along the way, they discover the power of music to
place to call home.
BANDSTAND is “both a peppy celebration of can-do spirit and
a more somber exploration of what American servicemen
experienced when they marched home from World War II. It’s a
great argument for why theater can sometimes tell a story more
boldly and more viscerally” (The New York Times).

NOT TO BE MOVED.
