Oh! What a Lovely War
“The ever popular war games. With songs, battles & a few jokes.”
ComedyMusicWar
The working-class Smiths change their initially sunny views on World War I after the five boys of the family witness the harsh reality of trench warfare.
VIBE
A darkly comedic musical that uses song and spectacle to expose the tragic absurdity of war. It's a poignant, often jarring, yet surprisingly catchy look at how grand conflicts shatter ordinary lives with a wink and a song.
