We Got It (Maia Hirasawa Song)
''Over Here!'' is a musical with a score by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman and book by Will Holt. The original Broadway production was directed by Tom Moore and choreographed by Patricia Birch, with scenic design by Douglas W. Schmidt and costumes by Carrie F. Robbins. ''Over Here!'' was a follow-up to the Sherman brothers' World War II musical '' Victory Canteen'', an off-Broadway production that featured 1940s icon Patty Andrews. The setting is a cross-country train trip in the United States during World War II (hence the name of the play, in contrast to the popular patriotic war anthem entitled ''Over There''). The show begins as a nostalgic look at 1940s America (where fashion, music, big bands and swing dance dominates) but, quickly evolves into a social commentary about the fear of dying in battle, prejudice, and discrimination. Production history After thirteen previews, the show opened on March 6, 1974 at the Shubert Theatre, where it ran for 341 performances ...
