Swinging at The Cotton Club
Thurs 16 March, 7.30pm at The Brook Theatre
Take a step back into 1920s & 1930s New York City and through the doors of Harlem's hottest nightclub, the Cotton Club!
Featuring the Lindy Hop Dance Company & The Harry Stutters Hot Rhythm Orchestra Swinging at the Cotton Club is the action-packed show celebrating the music and dance of the Cotton Club – New York’s most celebrated nightclub of the 1920s and 30s.
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.
In this show, the exhilarating dance and music of the Cotton Club 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.
