The hauntingly beautiful musical, Dogfight, by Pasek and Paul (Dear Evan Hansen) and Peter Duchan, is a sensitive love story about the choices we make that define who we become. On the eve of the Vietnam War, a young soldier learns the power of compassion when he plays a cruel joke on an unsuspecting girl, leading to self-discovery, and acceptance for both.
Music and Lyrics by BENJ PASEK & JUSTIN PAUL
Book by PETER DUCHAN
Based on the Warner Bros. Film and Screenplay by Bob Comfort
