Swing! tells the story of Adrianna, a factory worker in the 40's who is holding down her husband Butch's factory job while he's at war. Once he returns home, both Adrianna and Butch feel like they don't fit into their old lives. When she meets Janine, Adrianna rediscovers old passions that she put away when she was first married. While her feelings blossom for Janine, Adrianna's love for her husband is also rekindled. Adrianna's difficult choice in a time of forbidden love fuels this passionate musical journey.
Swing! Is set to be Michael Antin's sixth musical in NY and his third Off-Broadway show at the historic St. Luke's, to open in the fall of 2019. John Lant currently has 4 Off-Broadway musicals running Frankenstein, Geeks, # Adulting and It Came From Beyond with Parts 2 and 3 in pre-production of the streaming musical model.
