Xmas Eve 1944. The Andrews Sisters – Patty, Maxene and LaVerne – are rehearsing their USO show filled with Christmas songs, carols, swing tunes, and special appearances by their friends Bing Crosby and Abbott & Costello.
In this ALL-NEW reimagining of History Theatre’s holiday classic, the Andrews Sisters open their mailbag, and letters from men and women serving overseas dance their way into the USO show and into our hearts. These powerful and enlightening stories from people of diverse backgrounds remind us of the importance of family, service, and of a nation united for the common good.
On this 80th Anniversary of the start of the US involvement in WWII, Christmas of Swing is a tribute to the men and women who served.
