Dogfight the new musical at the Historic Edison Valley Playhouse
Musical theater opening

Come and see “Dogfight”, winner of the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical, is a powerful and haunting musical about the end of the age of innocence in the 60’s. It follows three young, fresh and cocky Marines, Birdlace, Boland and Bernstein, the night before their first deployment to the ‘little conflict’ in Southeast Asia. Looking forward to one last night of debauchery, partying and perhaps some trouble, the boys set out to find the ugliest girl to bring to the “dogfight”, a cruel game where the men put up money for a party and a cash prize and whoever brings the ugliest girl wins the pot. A story of compassion, heartbreak and redemption “Dogfight”, adapted from the 1991 River Phoenix/Lilli Taylor movie by composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Tony nominated “A Christmas Story”), musically moves from the pre-war sounds of early 60’s San Francisco through the gritty tough reality of Vietnam and back to the counter culture revolution of the mid to late 60s.
