The Roosevelt Island Main Street Theatre & Dance Alliance  (MST&DA) Adult Musical Theatre Studio is presenting Oh What A Lovely War his coming weekend - Friday March 29 - Sunday, March 31..


According to MST&DA:
Joan Littlewood's pioneering 1963 musical about the first world war not only changed attitudes towards the conflict, it remade British theatre” – The Guardian, UK

This is an epic musical developed by Joan Littlewood and her ensemble at London’s Theatre Workshop in 1963. Musical Hall songs of the day along with clever scenes are performed by an ensemble of male and female actors in Pierrot costumes. A counterpoint to the satirical and lighthearted performances is projected slides showing a moving display of First World War statistics and images – providing a sharp contrast with the comedy of the action taking place before it.
This groundbreaking production moved to the Broadway stage where it was nominated for four Tony Awards including Best Musical in 1965.

The show has enjoyed several Olivier Award-winning revivals, including the most recent London Revival in 2014 marking the 100th anniversary of the Great War.
