Over the years the ethereal music of Benny Goodman has enchanted millions. Goodman brought jazz into the commercial mainstream and mentored an extraordinary group of gifted and original musicians of jazz.

As a tribute to one of the greatest propagates of jazz this musical does justice and warms the heart of the audiences and takes them through some great swing music.

As most of us are aware that Benny Goodman's famous, 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert threw open the door for jazz to be treasured as a true art form and making it popular. This musical tries to revisit that very famous concert by keeping the original charts. The musical includes such hits like One O' Clock Jump a classic jazz rendition, Stompin' at the Savoy an all time favorite, Don't Be That Way and the ultimate finale the most famous Sing, Sing, Sing! The roots of this phenomenon called hot jazz associated with "Sing, Sing, Sing" can be traced back to a performance by Goodman at the Palomar way back in 1930s. These high-octane, intense instrumentals that were intended to generate excitement within the crowds have since become legendary. In this musical we can sway to these famous tunes and let our minds go free.

"Sing, Sing, Sing" is in all probability the most famous tune connected with Goodman, if not all of the entire Swing Era. The most recognizable part of the song is the drumming, that exists as an ethereal motif throughout the song. The tune has continued to morph and is played with variances. However this musical sticks to the original and does a wonderful job at it. "Sing, Sing, Sing" bristles, with raw energy and reckless abandon and powered by the enchanting drumming. It is capable of whipping crowds into a joyful frenzy every time it is played and the same also occurs in this musical. Many in the audience can be seen wildly swinging their arms and appreciating the rhythm.

A wonderfully and fantastically presented musical tribute to legendary Benny Goodman and his music we have all grown up with.
