Piccadilly
Dance Orchestra
Friday, 2 July - 7.30pm Family Friendly (7+)
St. George's Church, Deal
The Piccadilly Dance Orchestra presents in its inimitable
style an all-new celebration of the Golden Age of the Hollywood Musical. From
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers to Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler, Hollywood
brought us, for one brief shining moment, some of the greatest songs ever
written: "Isn't It Romantic", "Cheek To Cheek", "Puttin' On the Ritz" and
"Forty-Second Street" are just a few of the songs that characterised the
Hollywood musical at its fleetest of foot. Tonight we look back at a whole lost
world where top hats, white ties and tails were the dress code, and love was
forever in the air. Sheridan
Morley
The eleven-piece Piccadilly Dance
Orchestra is joined by its founder and conductor Michael Law and vocalist Karla Beare.
