Take a sentimental musical journey back to December of 1942, as you experience this “live” radio broadcast from the Hotel Astor’s Algonquin Room. This endearing exercise in nostalgia takes place on the night of December 21, 1942 in a seedy little New York radio station (WOV). The United States is at war and the station’s crew is rehearsing and preparing a final holiday show that will be recorded for broadcast to the troops overseas. Among the songs they sing are some of the great standards of the World War II era, songs like “Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy,” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” A true evocation of 1940’s Americana, even the radio commercials are authentic! Sunday Brunch at the Crown Plaza Hotel.
