Bandstand: The Broadway Musical
The show stars Corey Cott (Newsies, Gigi) as World War II vet and musical prodigy Donny Novitzki, who is trying to return to The Toxic Avenger: The Musical life “just like it was before” after losing his best friend in combat. When he hears of a radio contest to support the troops and meets a star vocalist in his friend’s widow Julia, played by Tony nominee Laura Osnes, he puts together the Donny Nova Band to go all the way to the top.
The production was the first theatrical production in history to be certified authentic by Got Your 6, an organization that He’s Out There advocates for authentic portrayal of the military across entertainment.
Written by Richard Oberacker and Robert Taylor, the 1945-set musical also starred Joey Pero, Joe Carroll, Brandon J. Ellis, James Nathan Hopkins, Kaalakaandi and Geoff Packard as the remaining musicians in the Donny Nova Band. (The band continues to play gigs together outside of the show in New York City.) Tony winner Beth Leavel played Julia’s mother June.
