SYNOPSIS:

Based on the 1991 Warner Brothers film, the hauntingly beautiful musical Dogfight takes audiences on a romantic and heartbreaking theatrical journey against the background of the Vietnam war. It's November 21, 1963. On the eve of their deployment to a small but growing conflict in Southeast Asia, three young Marines set out for one final boys' night of debauchery, partying and maybe a little trouble. But, when Corporal Eddie Birdlace meets Rose, an awkward and idealistic waitress whom he enlists to win a cruel bet with his fellow recruits, she rewrites the rules of the game and teaches him the power of love and compassion.
