BACK HOME: THE WAR BRIDES MUSICAL, part of the New York Musical Theatre
Festival (NYMF), has sold out two of their seven shows. Performances will be at
The Sage Theater (711 Seventh Avenue), and will begin on Monday, September 24th,
continuing through Sunday, September 30th.
About the Show
BACK HOME aims
to shed light on a war story that is rarely told. During World War II, over 70,000 British Women met and married
American servicemen stationed in Great Britain. After the war, husbands and wives were separated when the
husbands were shipped home. The
separations, in most cases, lasted more than a year due to governmental
indifference to the plight of the War Brides on both sides of the
Atlantic. The musical is based on true
events and follows the journey of Maureen (Mo) Gubbins, a London postal worker
and Ivy Hennessy, a mill worker from Leeds in their fight to be reunited with
their husbands.
