BANDSTAND

When a national contest to find America’s next music sensation offers a chance at fame and Hollywood fortune, Donny must whip his boys into fighting shape. Teaming up with a beautiful young war widow as their singer, and playing for every voiceless underdog in a world that has left them behind, they will risk everything to redefine the meaning of victory and sing truth to power. BANDSTAND brings the swing-fueled, against-all-odds story of singer/songwriter Donny Novitski and his band of mismatched fellow vets brilliantly to the stage. Directed and choreographed by two-time Tony Award® winner Andy Blankenbuehler ( Hamilton , In the Heights ), starring two-time Tony nominee Laura Osnes ( Cinderella , Bonnie and Clyde ), Broadway sensation Corey Cott ( Newsies ), and Tony winner Beth Leavel ( The Drowsy Chaperone ), and featuring an explosive original score by Richard Oberacker and Robert Taylor , BANDSTAND is a truly American celebration of the men and women whose personal bravery defined a nation. The original Broadway cast recording is produced by Michael Croiter .
