Happy as a Sandbag

 23rd September  - 1st October 2005

World War II Revisited

To commemorate the 60th Anniversary of VE Day 1945 – 2005

This show opens to a full stage orchestra playing, on fake, instruments “Chatanooga Choo Choo”, It’s the Glenn Miller Band!!

As the show progresses all the band members perform different parts to portray various events in WWII, from the Andrews Sister “Roll out the Barrel” to “When The Lights go on Again”. Almost every well-known song of the period is sung: Berkeley Square, We’ll Meet again, White Cliffs of Dover, Run Rabbit, etc.

Everyone gets a chance to act, sing, and impersonate, from ARP wardens, Tommy Handley, Chamberlain, Winston Churchill, “Jane”. We have evacuees, Alvar Liddell, Lord Haw Haw, The Battle of Britain, a Lancaster raid, Max Miller, George Formby, Rita Hayworth, the Home Guard, Gert and Daisy, even Adolf Hitler! We have land girls and the Radio Doctor.

As this will be the 60th anniversary I understand this could be a big event nationwide and we could be included with links to the British Legion, American Forces, etc.
