Celebrating its 25th anniversary and back by popular demand, Mellen Events presents the smash U.S. 1940s big band swing celebration IN THE MOOD, returning to Australia for another triumphant run of shows in 2018.
After selling out seasons in 2011, 2013 and 2016, IN THE MOOD commemorates its Silver Jubilee year with a 4th Australian visit.
It truly is an uplifting treat for the whole family and the perfect opportunity to get in early for your most inspired and desired Mother’s Day gift yet (we’ve got your back friends, you’re welcome).
IN THE MOOD brings you back to the bold, beautiful days of the 30s and 40s when the joint was jumping to the hot sounds and jiving rhythms of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, the Andrews Sisters and many more unforgettable, indelible swing artists.
Against the contrast of war, great melodies and lyrics energized by the big bands featuring saxophones, trumpets, trombones and rhythm sections, gave everyone faith in their hearts and a reminder of what they were fighting for.
Expect two hours of singers, dancers and period costumes, fine orchestral arrangements, vocalists delivering songs from the era, choreographed dance routines and shear theatrical pizzazz as the cast bring more than fifty unforgettable hits to the stage including Chattanooga Choo Choo, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (of Company B), In The Mood, Sing, Sing, Sing, On The Sunny Side of the Street and so much more!
Whether it’s your first time or your fourth, this show will do more than just get you IN THE MOOD, it will reaffirm your spirit!
Catch it at Costa Hall, Deakin University, Geelong – November 3 & Ulumbarra Theatre, Bendigo – November 4.
