New York City
Defined by Fats Waller as “two thirds rhythm and one third sould,” “swing” required only joyful enthusiasm and a ready partner as the new song and dance form of the 1930s exploded from Harlem’s hotbed of youth culture and swept the world. Relive that magical era in the new hit musical, Swing, with big-band sound and bebop galore . . . jumpin’ and jivin’ to those unforgettable songs: It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing),” “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” and more!
Paul Hough directs, with musical direction by Anthony Edwards and choreography by Cindy Layton.
