Dogfight at Zurich English-Speaking Theatre

Swiss premiere of Dogfight-The Musical

The hauntingly beautiful musical Dogfight by Pasek and Paul (Dear Evan Hansen, The Greatest Showman, La La Land, Edges, James And The Giant Peach, A Christmas Story) and Peter Duchan, was praised by countless critics and nominated for numerous awards and won the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical. Based on the 1991 Warner Brothers film of the same name, Dogfight takes audiences on a romantic and heartbreaking journey that stays with you long after the performance.

It's November 21, 1963. On the eve of their deployment to a small but growing conflict in Southeast Asia, three young Marines set out for one final boys' night of debauchery, partying, and maybe a little trouble. But when Corporal Eddie Birdlace meets Rose, an awkward and idealistic waitress he enlists to win a cruel bet with his fellow recruits, she rewrites the rules of the game and teaches him the power of love and compassion.

Run time approximately two hours plus one twenty-minute intermission.

Dogfight will be accompanied by a live band.
