Command Performance

par

Command Performance was a variety program created to entertain members of the U.S. armed forces during World War II. This broadcast features Robert Young, Glenn Miller, and Mary Martin, bringing together performers from film, radio, and music for a special wartime show.

The program’s format centers on guest appearances and varied entertainment rather than a continuing story. Listeners can expect a mix of comedy, music, and performance, with the featured artists sharing the broadcast in a lively variety-show setting.

Its appeal lies in hearing familiar entertainers contribute to a program made for service members, with Glenn Miller’s musical presence alongside the voices and performances of Young and Martin. The result offers a snapshot of wartime radio variety and the stars who helped make it distinctive.
