Description

Enjoy a show that celebrates the power of individual Americans to impact the world around them during a time of monumental conflict with this ticket for the 'Expressions of America' show in New Orleans.  Choose just to watch the 90-minute show or enhance your experience by extending it to a 2.5-hour experience including a mouth-watering three-course dinner with a reserved viewing area, two vintage-style cocktails, and a souvenir photo.  Have the option to order snacks, festive plates, and drinks before the the show. 'Expressions of America' combines the latest technology and special effects with the Museum’s extensive collection to provide you with an unforgettable nighttime experience unlike any other.  Begin your journey back to the 1940s by enjoying live entertainment reminiscent of the wartime era and exploring a mail call custom exhibit highlighting the role of correspondence and mail during World War II (the source material used to develop the show). Move outdoors to the Col. Battle Barksdale Parade Ground for the main sound and light show, which lasts approximately 25 minutes and is hosted by actor Gary Sinise with music recorded by Preservation Hall Jazz Band members and other New Orleans musicians. Watch as special effects transform the museum campus and enter scenes projected as high as 90 feet tall. Get to know soldiers, nurses, chaplains, factory workers, artists, entertainers, and supportive loved who banded together during this time of strife.  See how real people contributed their own meaningful acts of sacrifice, ingenuity, bravery, and love to preserve freedom. All of the words in the show come directly from the everyday men and women who made a tremendous impact during a time of monumental conflict. After the show, stick around for jazzy music and more art projections outdoors. Discuss the unforgettable experience over drinks, and purchase a keepsake photo from the evening or a souvenir from the Museum Store.
