The Cotton Club Show combines dynamic dancing, syncopated rhythms and toe-tapping melodies into one exuberant show, as the spirit of America's Jazz Age comes roaring back to life. 20 of today's best jazz musicians, singers and tap dancers on stage bring you hit songs like "I don't mean a thing", "Fever", "Summertime", "Baby it's Cold Outside", "Minnie the Moocher", "Ain't Misbehavin" and "What a Wonderful World".

Recreating the nightclub glamour are the Cotton Club Revue Jazz Band and tap-dancers Gerson Lanza and Jerry Clicquot with the band directed by one of the world's greatest trumpet players, Longineu Parsons, soloist for Louis Armstrong's music in the hit US production of Satchmo and hailed for his virtuoso performances of jazz, blues and classical music.
