The Media Theatre has
“Dogfight: The Musical” March 9-27. With music and lyrics by Benj Pasek &
Justin Paul and a book by Peter Duchan, it’s based on the 1991 film of the same
name. It’s the winner of the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical.
“Dogfight” takes
place in 1963 focusing on three young marines on the eve of their deployment.
During their final night of partying in the States Corporal Eddie Birdlace
meets Rose, an awkward and idealistic waitress who he enlists to win a cruel
bet with his buddies. But Rose turns the tables and brings the power of love
and compassion to Eddie’s life. Inspiring with a score that is hauntingly beautiful,
“Dogfight” is memorable with its charming soul.
Zack Krajnyak, who
played the lead role of Sam in “Ghost” at Media Theatre last season, returns to
play Eddie Birdlace in this production directed by Jesse Cline. Victoria Mayo,
who delighted audiences in “Hairspray”, takes on the role of Rose.
