Welcome back to the podcast and welcome new guest, Emma Hirt as they discuss the 2017 Broadway Musical Bandstand with Stephanie.

Bandstand was performed at the Bernard B. Jacobs theater on Broadway from April-September 2017. It tells the story of a group of veterans returning home to the United States after World War 2. Struggling to fit into their old lives while dealing with lingering effects of the war-including post-traumatic stress and survivor's guilt-they form a band composed solely of veterans, along with a war widow, to compete in a national patriotic radio contest in NYC. Bandstand stars Corey Cott and Laura Osnes.

Thank you to all the veterans out there!
