CELEBRATING THE GREAT BROADWAY MUSICALS AND THEIR SHOW TUNES
With Kate Armstrong, Brad Gill & the 2340 Big Band
The 2340 Big Band takes you on a journey to the big Apple – ‘the great white way’ – as they present Swingin’ Down Broadway, celebrating the great Broadway musicals and their show tunes.
Many famous musical hits have endured to become ‘jazz standards’, and the band will pay tribute to the great songs that audiences know and love. Expect to hear music from the golden age of musical theatre of the 1930’s and 40’s, with songs by Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin and George Gershwin. This era influenced the music of subsequent Broadway shows, including Guys & Dolls and Hello, Dolly!, which will be celebrated in this show.
This show may include a few surprises – where well-known classic musical theatre songs are given a swing feel in a way you may never have heard before!
The 2340 Big Band along with its resident vocalists Kate Armstrong, Brad Gill and other talented local performers invite you to join them for an afternoon of Broadway Big Band.
