In the Mood

A celebration of American 1940s popular music, In the Mood pays tribute to a bygone era. Featuring the In the Mood Singers & Dancers, the extravaganza features the fabulous String of Pearls Big Band Orchestra and includes music, costumes, choreography, singers, dancers and a live big band. You'll hear "timeless melodies and rhythms of the big band era," including “Tuxedo Junction,” “Sing, Sing, Sing,” “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” and “In the Mood.” The show then culminates with a salute to veterans. The performance takes place today at 7:30 p.m. at the Akron Civic Theatre. Tickets are $36.50 and $46.50. (Niesel)
