The Hello Girls at Syracuse Stage

A heroic new musical about connection in a time of conflict.

1918. As the world plunges further into unprecedented catastrophe, Grace Banker works as a telephone operator in New York City, proving herself more than capable in a male-dominated workforce. But when the U.S. Army recruits her to lead a group of women directing communications on the frontlines in France, she and her fellow “Hello Girls” will have to prove themselves again and again if they are to convince the top brass—and the country—that they belong in the fight. This new American musical reminds us that in the battle against hopelessness and hate, no weapon can match the power of the human spirit.
