History in the Musical
PLANNING FOR THE SHOW
The Hello Girls chronicles the story of America’s first women soldiers in this new musical inspired by history. These intrepid heroines served as bilingual telephone operators on the front lines, helping turn the tide of World War I. They then returned home to fight a decades-long battle for equality and recognition, paving the way for future generations. The Hello Girls was commissioned and premiered by NYC’s Prospect Theater Company to celebrate the centennial of these groundbreaking women.
