Over Here! (1974, Andrews Sisters) - repro

Richard M. Sherman, Robert B. Sherman, and Will Holt’s 'Over Here!' arrived at the Shubert Theatre in 1974, running for an astonishing 441 performances and capturing multiple major Tony Award nominations. Conceived as a high-octane, big-band swing musical comedy pastiche celebrating home-front patriotism during World War II, the fast-paced narrative follows a tight-knit singing group cross-country on a troop train bound for New York, tracking their strategic public relations campaigns and farcical spy deceptions. Directed by Tom Moore with choreography by Patricia Birch, the blockbuster original production famously starred Andrews Sisters legends Patty and Maxene Andrews alongside a young John Travolta.
