Take a step back into 1920 & '30s New York City and through the doors of Harlem's hottest nightclub, the fabulous '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 famous nightclub of the 1920s and ‘30s.

Performances by Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, 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 breathtaking routines.

In this show, the exciting music and dance routines are recreated by the fabulous Jiving Lindy Hoppers, the world’s premier jazz dance company and the exciting Harry Strutters Hot Rhythm Orchestra - featuring American vocalist Marlene Hill and compere/vocalist Megs Etherington.
