Yank! A New Musical

Yank! is a love song to Hollywood’s “it takes one of every kind” platoon flicks and to 1940s Broadway. Yank! tells the story of a war reporter named Stu and an army private named Mitch who fall in love and struggle to survive in a time and place where the odds are stacked against them. Suffused with period songs (swing, big band, boogie-woogie), it explores what stories get told in wartime, and how WWII became the great catalyst in bringing gay men and women together.
