Review Music and dance
revues have been a Broadway staple since theaters started creeping
uptown from Union Square. Most are not demanding of the audience,
all have toe-tapping tunes and, best for the producers, even
non-English speaking tourists can enjoy them. Swing! is the newest
entry in this line of major revues; if it makes it to the Spring
tourist season despite its problems it will stick around for a
decent run
If you're a fan of swing music you
might enjoy this show. More likely, you will be startled by the
surprising lack of 'we're-out-of-the-depression-and-we're-happy,'
'keep-our-spirits-up, there's-a-war' and 'you-made-it-home,
everything's-okay' emotion of which swing music was a part. The
talented dancers know the beat and the steps but never talked to
their grandparents about how the music felt
Bottom Line Don't linger
on this show. Best bet? Take in Tango
