Swing's the Thing
... or Jump, Jive, Joke, Juggle and Jazz
Featuring
The Larry O. Show & The Marvels
This 60-75 minute upscale after dinner performance combines the Larry O. Comedy Variety Show with the live music of The Marvels. This value added stage show features your favorite music from the Swing Era & is personalized for your particular audience.
The show has an opening & closing theme song & includes segue music between the comedy variety entertainment routines.
The Marvels will also provide live musical accompaniment to Larry's beautifully choreographed juggling routines plus incidental music throughout the entire show. This production would not be complete though, without featuring the musical arrangements and the individual musicians that comprise "The Marvels". These talented vocalists & instrumentalists will select four seasonally appropriate favorites to intersperse into the performance.
A wide variety of dance music can also be provided following the show and/or have this versatile band provide social & dinner hour music before the stage production. A professionally designed stage backdrop & lighting can also be provided. Click here for more information about the Larry O. Show.
