IN THE MOOD: SONGS OF THE GREAT BAND LEADERS runs now through February 21, 2016 at Quality Hill Playhouse. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
In the 1930s, Americans went wild for the swing music craze, and Big Band leaders such as Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw and Tommy Dorsey took the reins of the music industry, setting the course of American popular music for over a decade. Whether it be sweet or hot, tunes such as "It Don't Mean a Thing," "Star Dust," "Route 66" and "Tuxedo Junction" made stars of vocalists like Louis Armstrong, Rosemary Clooney and Ella Fitzgerald, and they still keep people swinging today.
Featuring: Vocalists Taylor Avazpour, Lauren Braton, Melinda MacDonald and Tim Noland, pianist/emcee J. Kent Barnhart, Ken Remmert on drums, Brian Wilson on bass and Matt Baldwin on clarinet/saxophone.
