We finished off some cleaning on 'Blame It On The Boogie' before showing it off to the assembled masses. It's quite a fast-paced show, so I think everyone was fairly knackered by the end of the run... hey ho, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!!
Yesterday saw the start of 'When Swing Was King' - our next show which is - yep, you guessed it! - a Swing show :-) Jerry is choreographing us for this one, so it was nice to see him back again - as our first week spent with him working on 'Hitsville USA' seems like a lifetime ago now. (That reminds me - we haven't finished learning that one yet!)
This one is packed full of all the classic swing / Rat Pack songs that you'd expect and a few surprises too - some great arrangements of songs you wouldn't expect in a swing show. Don't worry - you'll be pleasantly surprised... trust me!
It looks like it will be a very classy evening (well, what else did you expect!) and it'll be really cool having the band on stage with us for this show too. A big benefit of having quite a few different shows to present is that there's a good variety. A real Smörgåsbord (and yes - I did have to Google the spelling!!) of styles and content so there's something for everyone. Crikey - sounds like marketing pitch...!
