Hermie’s teenage summer of fun becomes a bittersweet lesson in love when he falls for a young war bride in a seaside town in this original musical based on the 1971 Oscar-nominated film. Funny, wistful and romantic, Summer of ‘42 will bring you back to that innocent age of 1940s swing, when friends met at the local soda fountain, the Andrews Sisters played on every radio, and the discovery of first love felt strange and wonderful.
Relive the summer you’ll always remember! This show, which has played off-Broadway and around the country, comes home to the theatre where it had its first reading, with a stunning cast headed by Rachel York as Dorothy. Also including: Megan Valerie Walker (Miriam), Celia Keenan-Bolger (Aggie), Joe Gallagher (Benjie), Brett Tabisel (Oscy), Ryan Driscoll (Hermie), Ayal Miodovnik (Pete), Danielle Ferland (Gloria), and Bill Buell (Mr. Sanders, Walter Winchell).
