It was mostly London after WWII, and it focused on this woman whose boyfriend went off to war. They were reunited in the end, etc. The whole show was very war themed. For example, at the end of the Russian number, they had the men dancers dress up as soldiers marching through Moscow. On the screens behind them they showed a video with (I think) real Soviet soldiers marching. This was all set to uplifting music. It was definitely idolizing Soviet Russia, which I thought was hilarious, albeit slightly disturbing. Yes.
