A large-cast Israeli musical based on the successful film, telling the story of a military band during the golden age of military bands, between the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War.

Against the backdrop of the period’s events, we are exposed to the band’s inner life and the dynamics among its members—a group of talented and wild young women and men who perform for soldiers throughout the expanded country. They look after their personal careers and futures while trying to raise the morale of our soldiers, dancing and singing and making sure to keep their humor between the wars.

The musical features songs that have become timeless classics: “In a Red Dress,” “Serenity,” “What Shall I Bless You With,” “If Birds,” “A Song for Peace,” and more.

The opening production of the year for the 65th graduating class.
