GET swinging at the Cotton Club as 1920s and 30s New York arrives on your doorstep.
Featuring the Lindy Hop Dance Company and The Harry Strutters Hot Rhythm Orchestra, Swinging at the Cotton Club will be performed at Weymouth Pavilion on Friday, October 27.
This is an action-packed show celebrating the music and dance of the Cotton Club – New York’s most celebrated nightclub of the 1920s and 30s.
In this show, the exhilarating dance and music of the Cotton Club, Harlem's hottest nightclub, is recreated by the fabulous Lindy Hop Dance Company and the show’s special guest tap-dancer, alongside The Harry Strutters Hot Rhythm Orchestra, featuring American vocalist Marlene Hill and compere/vocalist Megs Etherington.
Performances by Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Fats Waller would have had the club swinging - whilst dancers such as Bojangles Robinson and the Nicholas Brothers lit-up the stage with their breathtaking routines.
*Swinging at the Cotton Club, Weymouth Pavilion, Friday October 27, 7.30pm. Call the box office for tickets.
