Please be advised that gunfire/war effects are used in this production. Music & Lyrics By Benj Pasek & Justin Paul Book By Peter Duchan Based on the Warner Bros. film and screenplay by Bob Comfort Winner of the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical Dogfight, winner of the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical, is the story of a young soldier learning the power of compassion when he plays a cruel joke on an unsuspecting girl. Before creating the Tony-winning sensation Dear Evan Hansen, writers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul delivered the heartbreaking and beautiful musical, Dogfight. This emotional journey depicts the blissful ignorance of youth, compassion in the face of cruelty and the ability to find true inner strength and acceptance despite the brutality of life and war. It’s November 21, 1963. On the eve of their deployment to a small but growing conflict in Southeast Asia, three young Marines set out for one final boys’ night of debauchery, partying and maybe a little trouble. But, when Corporal Eddie Birdlace meets Rose, an awkward and idealistic waitress whom he enlists to win a cruel bet with his fellow recruits, she rewrites the rules of the game and teaches him the power of love and compassion.
