The Walton Jones musical, which originally ran on Broadway in 1979-80, portrays the final holiday broadcast of the Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade on New York radio station WOV amid World War II in December 1942.

Directed by Maurie Tarbox with assistance from Mandie Wood Harris and music direction by Kenneth Plain, the Ogden production “captures the spirit of the holidays and the resilience of the WWII era,” according to a release.

The show will feature a number of big band and holiday musical favorites, in addition to dancing and old-time sound effects. 1940s favorites like The Andrews Sisters’ “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” — originally performed by Judy Garland — will be showcased during the show.

“We are thrilled to bring The 1940’s Radio Hour to our stage,” said Kassi Bybee, executive director of Ogden Musical Theatre, in the release. “This show offers a beautiful blend of nostalgia, humor and heart, making it a perfect way for families and community members to celebrate the holiday season together.”
