The Broadway original Swing! hearkens back to the big band era with show-stopping performances that brim with classic tunes and dazzling dance moves. Swing and jazz favorites such as “Sing, Sing, Sing,” “Caravan,” and “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)” create the show’s rhythmic scaffolding as the visuals are filled out with an exploration of jive, West Coast swing, and the lindy hop. The musical also offers up some surprising takes, such as an all-male hip-hop version of “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.” Before the show, audiences mingle at a brief cocktail reception before finding their linen-draped table. A salad bar and buffet help fill stomachs with the fuel necessary for giving a standing ovation, shouting for encores, and screaming at pet falcons to get down from the rafters.
