The music and dance phenomenon that swept the nation in the 30s and 40s hits Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre with the production of the original Broadway Swing!

The cast of singers and dancers brings a high energy performance full of the greatest hits of the 30s and 40s like Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, I’ll Be Seeing You, In the Mood, Stompin’ at the Savoy, It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing) and many more!
