Bandstand at The Merry-Go-Round Playhouse

It’s 1945 and our boys are coming home!

Bandstand tells the story of musician Donny Novitski who is about to take on the mission of his life: leading his band of fellow veterans into competition for America’s next swing band sensation. When Donny meets a beautiful young singer named Julia, he finds the perfect harmony in words and music that could take this band of brothers all the way to the live radio broadcast finale in New York City. But to succeed, it will require every ounce of talent, stamina and raw nerve that these musicians possess.

Featuring incredible music and the sounds of swing, jitterbug and big band and sizzling choreography, Bandstand is a patriotic tribute to our veterans and the nostalgia of the 1940’s. Bandstand is the first musical sanctioned by GOT YOUR 6, a nonprofit that supports millions of veterans, service members and their families in the communities they call home.
