Broadway star Jill Paice leaves Scarlett O’Hara and the Civil War in her wake as she time travels to WWII. Arriving directly from London and the Trevor Nunn production of the musical version of “Gone With the Wind,” she heads the stellar cast of “Ace.”

The musical exploring the lives and legacies of America’s Greatest Generation opens Signature Theatre’s new season and features music by Richard Oberacker, book and lyrics by Robert Taylor and Oberacker and choreography by Karma Camp. Eric Schaeffer directs.
