SYNOPSIS
Mistaken identities, madcap humor, and some of the greatest songs of the 1940s fill this hilarious
musical comedy. It’s 1945 in the South Pacific, and The Andrews Sisters are scheduled to headline the big USO show, but when a flu outbreak quarantines the girls and they fail to arrive at the big gig,
three soldiers find themselves giving the performance of a lifetime! Songs include “Boogie Woogie
Bugle Boy,” “Slow Boat to China,” “Shoo Shoo Baby,” and “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree.” The
Andrews Brothers is complete with slapstick comedy, old-fashioned romance, and nostalgic music.
