New York City during World War II was indeed a special place at a special time. It was a time of national unity, patriotism, sacrifice, pride – and a heckuva good time. We are proud and privileged to present this musical masterpiece by the great team of Bernstein, Comden, and Green. The story follows three sailors looking for love on their last 24-hour leave before being shipped out. We hope that you’ll join us in recalling a world that was, yes, more dangerous and tenuous, but very full of exuberance, love, and life. Don’t miss this greatest of America’s musicals!
