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 he enlists to win a cruel bet with his
fellow recruits, she rewrites the rules of the game and teaches him the power of compassion.
Based on the Warner Bros. film and screenplay by Bob Comfort, Dogfight features a score by Broadway's
newest stars Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Broadway s hit show A Christmas Story, NBC-TV s Smash)
and a book by another Broadway newcomer, Peter Duchan. The show was directed by two-time Tony®
Award winner Joe Mantello (Wicked, Other Desert Cities, Assasins) with choreography from Tony® winner
Christopher Gattelli (Newsies, South Pacific). This world premiere musical features performers Lindsay
Mendez (Godspell, Everyday Rapture), Derek Klena (Carrie), and Annaleigh Ashford (Wicked, Legally Blonde).
