To-Night's the Night - 1914 - Broadway Articles Page 7

Broadway On Demand has announced its 2021 Holiday Programming.

All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 tells the remarkable story of a World War I moment of peace. Based on a true story, writer Peter Rothstein uses traditional musical numbers and personal letters to tell the story of British soldiers fighting on the front lines against the Germans. As the story unfolds, the audience learns that the Pope has requested a Christmas truce and the British have refused to agree. Against orders and after much song and frivolity from the trenches, the soldiers dare to step out into no-man's land and a weird and wonderful Christmas celebration occurs.
