"About Face!" was the first in a series of Soldier Shows "Blueprint Specials" created by the Special Services Division of the Army Service Forces during World War II to provide soldiers stationed overseas with all the resources they need to stage an original, full-length, Broadway-style revue for their fellow soldiers. Each "Blueprint Special" includes a libretto, set and costume designs, conductor's score, and individual vocal and instrumental parts, as well as detailed instructions for staging the show effectively. Costumes and sets can be constructed from local scrap materials, the sketches that compose the libretto can be omitted or added to according to local needs and time constraints, and the big band style musical accompaniment can be reduced or expanded to accommodate whatever players are available. Each show features one scene where any number of specialty acts can be inserted to showcase local talent.

Compilation of a script, parts (including conductor's score; 1 vocal part with melody and lyrics; and 13 instrumental parts), stage directions, dance routines, scenic and costume designs (including instructions on how to make them from waste and salvage materials), a sample program template, and general notes on how to produce a musical revue, intended for a women's army audience. The story depicts the goddess Athena growing bored with her life on Olympus and descending to Earth to find fulfillment as a WAC named Mary Brown.

Sheet music for the "You Always Hurt the One You Love" arranged for voice and piano with lyrics that express the inevitability of heartbreak. The front cover includes an illustration of a young woman with her head in her hands and handwritten notes that read, "Letha Edwards, Officers Club."
