Synopsis
From New York to Paris, from ragtime to jazz, THE HELLO GIRLS chronicles the story of America’s first women soldiers in this new musical inspired by history. These intrepid heroines served as bilingual 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. THE HELLO GIRLS was commissioned and premiered by NYC’s Prospect Theater Company to celebrate the centennial of these groundbreaking women.
“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 handsomely designed production, it also sounds TERRIFIC.”
