Written by Richard Oberacker and Robert Taylor the 1945-set musical stars Cott as World War II vet and musical prodigy Donny Novitski. When he hears of a radio contest to support the troops and meets a star vocalist in his friend’s widow Julia, played by Osnes, he puts together the Donny Nova Band to go all the way to the top.

The Broadway production also starred Joey Pero, Joe Carroll, Brandon J. Ellis, James Nathan Hopkins, and Geoff Packard as the remaining musicians in the Donny Nova Band. Tony winner Beth Leavel played Julia’s mother June.

Bandstand, which was seen on Broadway in 2017, was recently available to stream on Playbill as part of the newly launched Playbill Playback.
