From New York to Paris, from ragtime to jazz — an ensemble of actor-musicians chronicles the story of America's first women soldiers. These intrepid heroines served as bi-lingual telephone operators on the front lines, helping turn the tide of World War I. They then returned home to fight a decades-long battle for equality and recognition, paving the way for future generations.
More info:
“THRILLING...SMART, HUMAN and sardonically feminist, with a lively ragtime-and-jazz score...there is a palpable sense of filling in an important blank: showing an adventurous female presence in the war story we thought we knew.”
“A musical as TRIUMPHANT as the true story on which it is based...Mills has filled this action-packed war story with INSTANT-CLASSIC SONGS...A JOYOUS EXPERIENCE.”
“TERRIFIC BEYOND BELIEF!”
