THE HELLO GIRLS

music and lyrics by PETER MILLS

book by Peter Mills and Cara Reichel

From New York to Paris, from ragtime to jazz -- an ensemble of triple-threat actor-musicians chronicles the story of America's first women soldiers. 
These intrepid heroines courageously served as bi-lingual 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.  Celebrate the centennial of these groundbreaking women with an original musical created by Prospect Theater Company's critically-acclaimed founding artists.

"Mills' gift for infectious melodies and his singular brand of
super-smart word play 
make him a realistic successor to the
mantle of Stephen Sondheim." —Theatermania
