One of the most original musical satires to reach the Broadway stage in the late 1920's, STRIKE UP THE BAND is a hilarious lampoon of war and big business. The wacky story concerns an American tycoon who protects his monopoly on the cheese market by manipulating the U.S. into a war with Switzerland. "Inspired musical theater" from Variety; "a truly uplifting songfest…" from the NY Times. Songs include: "I've Got A Crush On You," "Soon," "The Man I Love" and of course the rollicking title song.
