SWINGING AT THE COTTON CLUB AT THE FESTIVAL THEATRE

The Festival Theatre, Hever Castle, Hever, Edenbridge TN8 7NG

8pm, Sunday 4th August.

Take a step back into 1920s and ’30s New York City and through the doors of Harlem’s hottest night club … The Cotton Club.

‘Swinging at The Cotton Club’ is the action-packed show celebrating the music, dance, and songs of the Cotton Club – New York City’s legendary nightclub of the 1920s and ‘30s. Performances by Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Fats Waller would have had the club swinging – whilst dancers such as Bojangles Robinson and the Nicholas Brothers lit-up the stage with their breath-taking routines. In this show, the exciting dance and music of the Cotton Club is recreated by the fabulous The Lindy Hop Dance Company – the world’s premier jazz dance company and Harry Strutters Hot Rhythm Orchestra featuring vocalist Marlene Hill and compere/vocalist Megs Etherington.
