The newest production from Hayes Theatre Co comes all the way from Hollywood and the Great White Way. Dogfight, the tale of two people during the times of the Vietnam War, is a musical adapted from a film of the same name. The original film, starring River Phoenix and Lilli Taylor, was released in 1991.
The Australian production is directed by Neil Gooding and uses the Broadway adaptation for the show. With music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, it is based off the book by Peter Duchan. Dogfight tells the story of Corporal Eddie Birdlace who meets Rose, a waitress, on his final night out before he is deployed in 1963. It tells the story of a cruel bet gone wrong and how the characters choose to view their lives during this time. Eddie Birdlace and Rose Fenny are played by Luigi Lucente and Hilary Cole. (LB)
