Available for Stage Production & Licensing

On the Air is available for theatrical production. Designed for intimate theatres, dinner theatres and cabaret spaces, the show requires just six performers and a simple 1940s radio-station setting. Inquire about licensing.

The audience becomes part of a 1940s radio-studio broadcast in this inventive musical comedy featuring original songs, serials and commercials—all viewed through an off-the-wall modern lens. Following its successful New York Off-Broadway cabaret run, On the Air has been produced in dinner theatres and regional venues around the country.

A bold, inventive and often hysterically funny new musical… may be the most clever play of the year… a terrific show!
The New York Daily News

On the Air ought to be enough to bring back radio!
The Newark Star Ledger

You don’t have to be a nostalgia buff to fall in love with On the Air. On the Air can be enjoyed by the whole family!
