"Set during a live WNEW radio broadcast from the ballroom of the Roosevelt Hotel, When The Lights Go On Again follows The Moonlighters, an up and coming singing group trying to land a job with the legendary Glenn Miller band. Told through 28 hit songs from the 1940's, the musical paints the emotions of a country supporting its combat efforts and the sacrifices that war can bring," according to press materials.
