Hot on the heels of the success of ‘Swingle Bells‘ in December 2023, Howard Events and The CoLab Network are delighted to announce their next exciting Johannesburg Big Band show, ‘Swingin Las Vegas’ which will come to the stage from 12 to 21 July for eight shows only.
What is the ‘Swingin’ Las Vegas’ show about?
‘Swingin’ Las Vegas: Vegas Through the Years’ pays homage to the music that made Vegas everything it is, both during its golden age and right up to the present moment. Audiences will hear the showstopping hits of Elvis, Frank Sinatra, The Rat Pack, Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones, as well as modern-day stars Michael Buble, Robbie Williams, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Kool & the Gang and more.
Johannesburg Big Band and homegrown stars shine bright
Conducted by Adam Howard, the 18-piece Johannesburg Big Band – which received a SAMA nomination for ‘Swingle Bells’, will take audiences on a musical journey of pure nostalgia. The show features home-grown solo stars, too: singers Craig Urbani, Corlea, Timothy Moloi and Harry Sideropoulos performing classics such as ‘Fly Me To Moon’, ‘Mack The Knife’, ‘Rolling in the Deep’, ‘Valerie’, ‘Quando, Quando, Quando’, ‘Big Spender’ and many more – songs that may tempt audiences to sing and tap along.
After the huge success of Howard Events’ inaugural production ‘Swingle Bells‘, with the Johannesburg Big Band (founded by the company) playing an important role, the company is excited to return with another show featuring the band again.
“We’re thrilled that we’re back on stage at The Teatro at Montecasino – which is becoming more like home after the success of Swingle Bells this past Christmas. We’re in the final production stages to ensure ‘Swingin’ Las Vegas’ will be a night to remember, as we take the audiences on a swingin’ musical journey through the life and times of Las Vegas!”
Swingin’ Las Vegas is brought to you by Howard Events in association with The CoLab Network. Collett Dawson of The CoLab Network concludes; “I’m overjoyed to be joining forces with Howard Events once again as Associate Producer on ‘Swingin’ Las Vegas’. Both companies are committed to producing the very best in live musical entertainment, giving audiences a musical experience like no other and I can’t wait for Joburg audiences to experience our next show!”
Swingin’ Las Vegas will be on stage at The Teatro, Montecasino for 8 performances only, spanning two weekends in July; from 12 to 21 July 2024.
