Jonesborough Repertory Theatre is announcing a new jivin’, toe-tappin’, big
band playin’ hit - The Original Broadway SWING! Rodgers and Hammerstein
Theatricals explain, "Two thirds rhythm and one third soul." That's how Fats
Waller defined the uniquely American form of popular music and dance known as
"swing." Requiring only joyful enthusiasm and a ready partner, swing exploded
out of pre-war Harlem's hotbed of youth culture and swept the world. It
shattered ethnic and cultural barriers, generating specialty styles such as
Jive, Swing, Lindy Hop, West Coast Swing, and Hip-Hop Swing. SWING! Celebrates
this remarkable diversity to the beat of the most exhilarating songs of the
period. But as this enthralling song-and-dance show makes abundantly clear,
swing was never a time or place -- it has always been a state of mind!"
