In The Mood began as a celebration of 1940's Swing Era in American
Music.On the radio, in theaters, and ballrooms, Big Bands were drawing
recordcrowds. Vocal groups and soloists sang a repertory of great songs,
and forthe last time in the 20th century, the entire country shared a common
popular music. The National Archives in Washington, DC brought In
the Moodto their audiences as part of their commemoration of the 50thanniversary
of WWII, and the response was extraordinary, with crowds lining up
hoursbefore curtain time. Touring since 1994, In the Mood's upcoming
nationaland international performances continue to portray the spirit that
movedthe nation, including the music of Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Artie
Shaw,Benny Goodman, Harry James, Erskin Hawkins, The Andrew Sisters, Frank
Sinatra, and many more. More than a concert, In the Mood is a Big Band
Theatrical Swing Revue.
