Musicals of Different Decades

From the era of flappers and the Charleston to those of World War II, the rock and roll 50s, the groovy 60s and the disco 70s, each decade has been marked by its own distinctive look, style and music.  Nostalgia always makes for good theatre, and you won’t go wrong with any of these musicals that span the decades.

Pioneer Drama Service is proud to bring you a vast array of original musicals that your audiences have not already seen.  Think of the freedom you’ll experience when your audience doesn’t come with any pre-conceived notions of what the show should look and sound like.  Think of the growth your actors will experience as they develop original characters.  Think of the fun your stage crew will have designing unique costumes, sets, backdrops, and lighting to showcase their creativity.  We invite you to read this article to learn more about our philosophy behind publishing unique musicals and plays.

To assure the success of your production, we offer a broad range of production aids, including full music tracks both with and without lyrics and our one-of-a-kind Lyric Learners, PowerPoint slide shows timed to the pre-recorded music to make teaching lyrics to your visual learners a breeze! 

Don’t forget to check out our unique Musical Perusal Program, which provides you a cost-effective way to preview several different shows before purchasing.

Pioneer Drama Service is pleased to offer 32 musicals of different decades.
