Popular 1940s big band musical coming to Dearborn

A truly unique concert experience is coming to Dearborn, bringing an authentic flashback into the 1940s - a time when music moved the nation’s spirit.
Now in its 15th tour year, the musical called In The Mood recreates the classic sounds of the World War II era with sensational singers, dancers and the big band sounds of the String of Pearls Orchestra.

The show is coming to the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center at 8 p.m. on Saturday October 18. Tickets are on sale at The Center’s box office, by calling 943-2354 or visiting www.dearbornfordcenter.com. Ticket prices range from $24 to $35, and Visa, Master Card and American Express are accepted.
Since 1994 performers from In the Mood have toured across the United States and in Europe in this successful 1940s revue, complete with up-tempo big band rhythms and intimate ballads. Two of the group’s most notable performances include the Inaugural Ball for President Bill Clinton as well as the United Service Organizations’ commemorative ceremony honoring the 50th anniversary of World War II.

In fact, theater managers in Michigan and throughout the country have nothing but positive comments to say about the show.

"The show sold out extremely quickly, and I could have easily sold another show as well. The performance was phenomenal and you would not believe how many people have requested that we bring you back. I can't remember an evening in which the patrons left as happy as they did the evening that you performed," according to William Wood, director of Interlochen Arts Festival in Interlochen, MI.

Wood’s testimony and other great information about the show can be found at the website: www.inthemoodlive.com.
