Step back in time to 1943 when our country was at war and music was swinging and boogieing.

Cornwell’s Dinner Theatre is ready to fete you and entertain you with music from the era, starting in a hospital room and moving to a nightclub and a USO show. Forget about plots, though, “Boogie Woogie Swing Time” is a musical revue with the story existing only to string songs together from the era.

But that is reason enough when you have great songs and voices that harmonize as well as the voices of Shawn Patrick Fletcher, Jen Morris, Kaitlyn Casanova and Sandi Oshaben.

Fletcher spends the first few numbers “asleep” in bed as he is Private Ryan Davies who is ill and heavily medicated. He was injured while fighting at the front, and the three sisters are nurses who are helping to care for him. Morris is the shy Jane who gets all quiet and withdrawn around men. Casanova is Stacey, the oldest sister whose husband is a paratrooper in the army and she is worried about his absence. Oshaben is the outgoing sister who doesn’t hesitate to show that she likes men.

While they don’t spend much time nursing, they do spend a lot of time singing and dancing, and all of them are excellent at this. Whether they are commanding the house with their pure voices in a solo or expertly blending their voices in four-part harmony, these four are impressive.

There are no original songs in “Boogie Woogie Swing Time,” and the plot really does exist just to introduce the next song. The actors do fine with their lines and characterizations, but everything that happens is well telegraphed ahead of time, and there are neither surprises nor themes.

Rather, this is a revue that works beautifully for Memorial Day weekend and for the opening of summer. It is a tribute to our troops, past and present, and a patriotic look at a time when our involvement in a war seemed simpler.

Songs from the era include “Chattanooga Choo Choo,” “Rum and Coca-Cola,” “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree,” “Don’t Fence Me In,” “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “That Old Black Magic,” “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” and “America the Beautiful.” They manage to work in 29 songs in less than two hours.

Two hours before the show starts, they begin serving a Thanksgiving-style dinner which is fantastic. Starting with salad and home-made soup, the meal continues with what gives Turkeyville its name. There is a buffet of all-you-can-eat turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, honey-glazed carrots, and macaroni and cheese. Desert is your choice of pie or ice cream, which you can have right before the play or during intermission. There is plenty of time after dinner and before the show and at intermission to walk around and shop at the gift stores or buy fudge to take home with you.

Cornwell’s Dinner Theatre sets out to make an experience and does it with top-notch talent and excellent comfort food.
