Based on the 1991 film, “Dogfight” is the winner of the 2013 Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical.
On the eve of deployment to Vietnam, Eddie Birdlace and his fellow Marines partake in the dehumanizing, sexist ritual of “the Dogfight” where each man wagers on who can bring the ‘ugliest girl’ to a mock dance. Eddie’s bravado is shaken when the girl he chooses, Rose Fenny, inadvertently awakens his humanity and challenges him to see the world in a more empathetic and compassionate light. Can Eddie escape the shackles of the toxic masculinity he was socially conditioned to accept, or is he destined to be destroyed by them? Based on the 1991 film, “Dogfight” is the winner of the 2013 Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical.
