The boys are back, but their war isn’t over. Bandstand is an unflinching and honest new musical about confronting the cost of war and finding salvation in the notes of a song. It’s 1945. American soldiers return home to ticker tape parades and overjoyed families, and Private First-Class Donny Novitski, singer and songwriter, returns with the hope of rebuilding his life with just the shirt on his back and a dream in his heart. When NBC announces a national competition to find the nation’s next swing band sensation, Donny joins forces with a motley group of fellow veterans, and together they form a band unlike any the nation has ever seen.
