IN THE MOOD celebrates America’s Greatest Generation through the music of Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Erskine Hawkins, The Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra and other idols of the 1940s. The show’s music arrangements, costumes and choreography are as authentic as it gets. IN THE MOOD takes a look at the life and times of America’s Swing Era when everyone listened and danced to the same style of music. Swing music ranged from up-tempo big band rhythms to mellow intimate ballads and inspired America with a vision for the future filled with hope, promise and prosperity. Swing Music moved the Nation’s spirit and helped to sustain nation’s morale during World War II, the pivotal event of the 1940s. IN THE MOOD recreates the rhythmic, jazzy, brassy, sentimental, romantic and patriotic music of this important time for people of all generations.
