World War II was threatening democracy around the world.  The troops on the battlefront and their loved ones on the homefront needed some kind of assurance and support to ease their fears. Composers and lyricists wrote songs that were heard on radios, along with FDR’s Fireside Chats, to inspire and unite a worried nation. These songs boosted morale at home and abroad and have stood the test of time.

Commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII and the service of all veterans, Woodland Opera House presents “Sentimental Journey: Songs That Won The War”. Written and directed by Gil and Lenore Sebastian, this musical revue fund-raiser features an all-star cast: Bob Cooner, Jori Gonzales-Solorio, Robert Vann, Jadi Galloway, Lenore Sebastian, Joe Alkire, and Gil Sebastian, with Dean Mora at the piano.

Enjoy classics like Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Chattanooga Choo Choo, As Time Goes By, Swinging on a Star, Accentuate the Positive, I’ll Be Home For Christmas, and many, many more.
