It’s December 21, 1942, and The Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade is broadcasting live from the Hotel Astor. Join the studio audience for a delightful, musical trip back in time, featuring “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “I’ll Be Seeing You” and other ‘40s favorites. All the while, a harassed producer copes with a panoply of lovable characters, including a drunk lead singer, a fame-hungry delivery boy, and a trumpet-playing sound effects man who chooses a fighter plane over Glenn Miller.
The playwright, director, and stars of School Girls; Or, the African Mean Girls Play discuss the comedy, sisterhood, and themes behind the new Broadway production.
