SHOW SUMMARY: MAURICE HINES IS TAPPIN' THRU LIFE is written and performed by Maurice Hines and directed by two-time Tony Award®-winner Jeff Calhoun. Hines teams up again with the unforgettable Manzari Brothers for the first time since the smash hit production of SOPHISTICATED LADIES to tap us through his incredible career in show business. With song and dance, Hines pays tribute to his brother, Gregory, and the singers who have inspired him, from Frank Sinatra to Lena Horne. To help bring the history of American tap to life, Hines brings The Diva Orchestra, an all-female nine-piece big band. Get ready to laugh, smile and tap your feet to the infectious song and dance of Maurice Hines, says Martin, and catch this performance before Maurice takes his show on the road and ultimately to the great white way.
