  3. Swingtime Canteen


The swingingest canteen show of them all! City Theater in Biddeford invites you to step back in time. Imagine it’s 1944, in the old city of London during World War II. You are a soldier, perhaps preparing to go to war for the first time, perhaps on leave from long months of hard battles in Europe. Tonight, however, you are in for a treat; MGM star Marian Ames, along with her niece Katie, and fellow performers Jo, Lilly and Topeka, are going to be putting on a rip-roaring canteen show for you. This toe-tapping performance will feature some of the best music of the era, including Sing Sing Sing, Sentimental Journey, a 5-part harmony, a cappella version of Apple Blossom Time and many more that will have you ready to dance with your favorite pin-up girl.

BWW Review: BWW Critic's Choices: Best in Maine 2019
BWW Review: BWW Critic's Choices: Best in Maine 2019
November 26, 2019

As evidenced by the breadth of nominations for Broadway World's Annual Audience Choice Awards, Maine's theatrical landscape seems to grow and flourish with each new season. For a state as remote as we are, we boast two prestigious regional theatres now in their second half centuries a?" Maine State Music Theatre and Ogunquit Playhouse a?" which are leaders on the national regional scene and which have become destinations for travellers from far flung places. Add to these an array of countless other companies of every size and philosophic bent, and you have a colorful, rich artistic arena that grows more interesting each year. I am privileged to get to sample these performances as Broadway World's Maine editor and to be able to compare many of them favorably with shows I see across the country, in New York and London. These are my personal choices of the best in Maine for 2019, grouped by theatre company and show.
