Christmas Of Swing. The Andrews Sisters Musical
About the Show
Christmas of Swing is a musical by Bob Beverage, set on Christmas Eve, 1944, during World War II. It centers on the Andrews Sisters — Patty, Maxene, and LaVerne — as they rehearse for a USO show filled with Christmas songs, swing tunes, and comedy sketches. The production features special appearances by Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and Bud Abbott & Lou Costello.
The story blends the glamour of holiday entertainment with the harsh reality of wartime. As the sisters prepare their performance, they read excerpts from real letters sent by soldiers overseas to their loved ones. These letters, performed by actors portraying the soldiers, share personal stories of longing for home, concerns for safety, and the emotional impact of the war. The show uses these narratives to highlight themes of family, service, and unity in the face of adversity.
