"Bubble took Broadway, London, Berlin and Paris by storm when it made the rounds in the late ‘70s," says Springer noting that the Broadway and London cast albums are still big sellers. He credits the production's music and choreography for its success "back then and its sure-fire appeal now.
"Bubble is a timeless tribute to the likes of Ellington, Blake, Calloway and Holiday and evokes the elegance and excitement of the legendary Cotton Club, Small's Paradise and Savoy Ballroom. It's chock full of show-stopping numbers. Who could ask for anything more?"
