Celebrate the music of the 1950s in this nostalgic, funny – and heavenly – musical revue! When tragedy strikes on the way to their first big gig, four pals Sparky, Smudge, Jinx, and Frankie, united by their love of music, get to perform a show-stopping concert in the afterlife. This smash hit musical joyride is a loving, goofy retro story about second chances. It’s filled with barbershop harmonies and pitch-perfect melodies, with swing, boogie-woogie, Latin, and Calypso music styles, and timeless hits such as, “Three Coins in the Fountain,” “Moments to Remember,” “Sixteen Tons,” and more!

Donny Novitski returns home from WWII in 1945 to parades and celebrations in his small town of Ohio, but, amongst the festivity, he feels lost. Deciding to return to his love of music and life as a pianist, Donny forms a band with veterans who also feel the lingering effects of war and together they enter a national swing band competition. But when he meets Julia – the widow of his best friend during the war – questions of survival on and off the battlefield arise and she joins the musicians as they seek recognition for their musical talents. Featuring spectacular choreography, an ensemble of actor-musicians, and fantastic instrumentalists, Bandstand is a victorious and jazzy story of America’s heroes who find home, purpose, and belonging within the rhythmic beats of swing, bebop, and jitterbug.
