Penned specifically for the Gem's stage, The All Night Strut Holiday Show! will dazzle audiences with performances Wed.-Sun., Nov. 23-Dec. 31, 2011. The return of The All Night Strut Holiday Show! at Detroit's Gem commemorates its inaugural appearance at the venue 20 years ago, which resulted in the show's longest run in history.
Folks young and old are rediscovering the Lindy Hop, the Shag and the Tango as dance shows have become the it thing, and nowhere more than in the classy, sassy musical celebration of the 1930s and 1940s. With a new holiday twist, The All Night Strut Holiday Show! is a dazzling musical that struts its stuff in a two-act bonanza that carries its audience through the Depression, World War ll and the post war boom.From the funky jive of Harlem to the sophisticated elegance of El Morocco and the romance of the Stage Door Canteen, this is an evening filled with jazz, blues, bebop and classic song standards that thrill the heart, tickle the funny bone and raise the rafters. Hoagy Carmichael, Frank Loesser, and Duke Ellington are just a few of the legendary songwriters featured. From the creators of the international hit, The All Night Strut! this holiday version has sublime music and unbeatable energy.
