Featuring the Lindy Hop Dance Company
&
The Harry Strutters Hot Rhythm Orchestra
Take a step back into 1920s New York City for an action-packed show celebrating the music and dance of Harlem’s hottest nightspot, The Cotton Club!
New York’s most celebrated nightclub saw performances by legendary artists such as Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Fats Waller. And 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 world’s premier jazz dance ensemble, the fabulous Lindy Hop Dance Company and the show’s special guest tap-dancer; alongside one of the swingingest bands on the circuit, The Harry Strutters Hot Rhythm Orchestra, featuring American vocalist Marlene Hill and compere/vocalist Megs Etherington.
