Visual and auditory delight. Musicians were outstanding, the vocalists provided complex musical arrangements and energetic choreography.

From the applauses and repeated standing ovations, I believe everyone in the house had a marvelous time!

Outstanding performance. Loved the patriotic theme. the 2 primary dancers were worth the price of admission themselves. Wish I had brought my elderly aunts and uncles

Description

In the Mood takes a retro look at the life and time of America's Greatest Generation — a generation where everyone listened and danced to the same style of music, which ranged from up-tempo big band rhythms to mellow, intimate ballads. This music set a mood that inspired a future filled with hope, promise and prosperity. This was a time like no other in U.S. history. In the Mood offers audiences the experience of swing, rhythm, jazz, brass, sentimental and romantic music from this important time in America's history.

The In the Mood band and singers were selected to be part of the entertainment for the 53rd Presidential Inauguration Ball for President and Mrs. Bill Clinton in 1997. On tour since 1994, the show's upcoming national and international performances continue to portray the spirit of the music that moved the nation.
