WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Set during World War II, Yank! chronicles the relationship between two servicemen long before "Don't-ask-don't-tell" was part of the national discussion. With a lively score inspired by the pop sounds of the 1940's, Yank! captures the spirit and exuberance of the era as it explores questions of prejudice, courage and survival. Starring Bobby Steggert.

soars above most B'way shows
It may make you angry, make you laugh, make you cry, and theres a good chance youll experience all three. Bobby Steggerts performance shows why its silly to think the Tony awards represent the highest quality work in the NYC theater. If you miss this, give yourself a great big kick not too hard, though, as it appears, theres a Bway transfer in the offing.

Superb!
Here is a production that works on every level. Dealing with a gay relationship between two soldiers during World War II, the book is smart, one minute making you laugh, the next breaking your heart, the music and lyrics, a homage to the songs of the 40s, are terrific and foot tappingly catchy and the the direction, considering the small space there was to work in, is fluid and imaginative. And the acting! Across the board wonderful, the standouts were the droll, wisecracking Jeffrey Denman and the quite magnificent, Bobby Steggert who gives probably the best performance I have seen this year as a boy who learns how to be a hero in his own life. Only a few weeks left they have extended to April 8 I urge anyone who cares about musical theater to catch this wonderful show.

An old-fashioned musical with a contemporary sensibility, Yank!, now being presented by the York Theatre Company at the Theatre at Saint Peter's, is a love story between two male soldiers during World War II. The tuner -- written by brothers David and Joseph Zellnik -- has been kicking around for the last few years, including stops at the New York Musical Theatre Festival and Brooklyn's Gallery Players, and Igor Goldin's current production emphasizes the show's strengths, while not completely obscuring its weaknesses.
Yank! chronicles the journey of Stu (Bobby Steggert) who meets and falls in love with fellow soldier Mitch (Ivan Hernandez) during basic training. But while the other fellows[...]
