Big Time Swing: Hollywood swing music classics from ’30s & ‘40s! Starring Judy Carmichael

STARTING AT $59 PER TICKET, Lunch Box Matinee (Lunch at 12pm | Show at 1pm) Grammy-nominated stride and swing-style pianist/vocalist, Judy Carmichael, celebrates the joy of Hollywood musicals from the 1930s and ‘40s! Can you think of Fred Astaire, Gershwin and Cole Porter not smile? You might even get up and tap! Judy has taken this infectious style of music and her equally infectious personality everywhere from posh nightclubs in Paris and Melbourne to Carnegie Hall and a Rio concert for ten thousand Brazilians; from Arundel Castle sharing the stage with the London Philharmonic, to Castle Fraser for the National Trust of Scotland at the behest of longtime fan, Sir Cameron Mackintosh. Judy will be joined by guitarist Nate Najar, a virtuoso and (perhaps even more impressive) a native Floridian.
