What time is it? It’s Swingtime!
What a great and entertaining show by Swingtime. Miss Reet Petite enters the Swing School just as Ms Lindy Hop is to hold the auditions for the Swing School Musical.
Everyone — returning and new members alike — performed fabulously. I admit was a bit concerned back in October when I first learnt that Swingtime was to have a high turn-over this year. Yet, the group grew more alive and captivating as the personalities of new members began to shine through. This is one fabulous musical you don’t want to miss!
