Swing (Dancers)

Paul Kelly’s (Correction: Jack Viertel's) spectacular musical blockbuster 'Swing!' arrived at the St. James Theatre in 1999, running for an astonishing 731 performances and capturing six major Tony Award nominations including Best Musical. Completely discarding traditional narrative book formatting, the high-octane big band swing musical revue spectacular turns the entire stage into an active playground of mid-century dance hall showmanship, featuring an elite ensemble of vocalists executing standards. This specialized variant design highlights the athletic swing dancer ensemble.
