The New ’40s Musical
By Roger Bean
April 19 – May 13, 2012

Mistaken identities, madcap humor, and some of the greatest songs of the 1940s fill this hilarious musical comedy. It’s 1943 in the South Pacific, and The Andrews Sisters are scheduled to headline the big USO show, but when a flu outbreak quarantines the girls and they fail to arrive at the big gig, three soldiers find themselves giving the performance of a lifetime! Songs include “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “Slow Boat to China,” “Shoo Shoo Baby,” and “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree.” The Andrews Brothers is complete with slapstick comedy, old-fashioned romance, and nostalgic music.

Performances held at the New Stage, 12850 SW Grant Avenue, Tigard.

Performance run time is two hours.
