Musical Opening Choruses, Finales and Production Numbers for Soldier Shows

Description: A selection of opening choruses, choral finales, sketches with comedy songs, and miniature musical comedies, mostly excerpted from pre-existing Broadway shows with lyrics adapted to Army, Navy, or Marine Corps themes. Soldiers were encouraged to incorporate these numbers into their own shows, adapting them further as needed, and to use them as inspiration for writing their own original numbers.
