The 1940s Radio Hour to premiere at Las Vegas Little Theatre

Swinging sounds of big band music and hilarious backstage antics

This family-friendly musical opens with I Got a Gal in Kalamazoo and closes with I'll be Seeing You. It's December 1942, and broken down New York radio station WOV is prepping for the final broadcast of the Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade, a seasonal treat for the troops overseas. This gem of a holiday musical is filled with colorful characters, big dance numbers, and lots of heart. Love is Here to Stay, Blue Moon, Strike Up the Band and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas are just a few of the chart-topping hits you'll be humming as you leave the theatre.

The 1940s RADIO HOUR is directed and choreographed by April Sauline, with Musical Director Toby McEvoy leading a live band and this ensemble cast of talented local actors (Michael Blair, Eli Carlin, Max Lardent, Peter Losasso, Ricky Lozano, Josh Meurer, Steve McMillan, James (JD) Smith, Sasha Smith, Mary Rose Stark, and Lindsay Wray). The set is designed by Vegas Valley Award Winner Ron Lindblom, with Lighting Design by Vegas Valley Award Winner Ginny Adams, Costume Design by Julie Horton, and Sound Design by Mike Olsen.

The 1940s RADIO HOUR will perform at the Las Vegas Little Theatre Mainstage, 3920 Schiff Drive, Dec. 2-18, with performances on Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. There will be one Saturday Matinee on December 10 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $30.
