'Bandstand' review: Band of war vets serves up music and emotion

The title "Bandstand" is a curveball. So is the subtitle, "The New American Musical." For audiences of a certain age, the name of the season's final musical suggests those dopey and adored teen dance shows that began on '50s TV. To audiences of a different certain age, the '40s look of the publicity photos implies a happy story of the bands that entertained the troops in World War II and moviegoers forevermore.
