Welcome to the chaotic world of NewYork radio station WOV!  It's the final broadcast of a show for American soldiers serving overseas during World War II.  A harassed studio manager tries to keep his performers in order and get through the broadcast without too many catastrophes. 

However, that is easier said than done! With a drunken, Sinatra-esque lead singer, a delivery boy with theatrical aspirations, and a talented trumpeter preparing to leave New York’s big band scene and fight overseas, it’s a challenge just to get to the end of the show.

Full of big band classics, jitterbugging, and old-fashioned sound effects, The 1940’s Radio Hour takes a swingin trip to a bygone era, bringing the audience along for the ride!
