From three-time Tony® winner and Hamilton choreographer, Andy Blankenbuehler, comes a poignant and inspiring new American musical that explodes with infectious music and high-octane, heart-stopping dancing. 

It’s 1945. As America’s soldiers come home to ticker-tape parades and overjoyed families, Private First Class Donny Novitski, singer and songwriter, struggles to rebuild the life he left behind. When NBC announces a national competition to find the nation’s next great musical superstars, Donny sees a lifeline for himself and some fellow veterans that gives them the purpose they so desperately need. Together, they form a band unlike any the nation has ever seen. Along the way, they discover the power of music to face the impossible, find their voice, and finally feel like they have a place to call home.

這部深刻又鼓舞人心的新美國音樂劇由三項托尼獎得主、《漢密爾頓》編舞安迪·布蘭肯布勒創作，其以富有感染力的音樂和令人驚歎的舞蹈而引爆現場。

1945年，美國的士兵們在遊行隊伍和家人們盛大的歡迎中退伍回家。一等兵唐尼·諾維茨基，這位歌手兼作曲家，也開始努力重建戰後的生活。當美國全國廣播公司宣佈舉辦全國性比賽，尋找下一個偉大的音樂巨星時，唐尼看到了自己和一些退伍老兵的希望，這帶給了他們迫切需要的目標。於是，他們一起組成了一支這個國家從未見過的樂隊。一路走來，他們用音樂的力量去面對一切的不可能，去找到自己的聲音，並最終感覺自己擁有了一個可以稱之為家的地方。
