Direct From Broadway - Sophisticated Ladies

SOPHISTICATED LADIES is a treasure trove of Duke Ellington’ s musical riches that won two Tony Awards, brought fame to Gregory Hines and is still one of the greatest vehicles for tap, song and The Duke’s sophisticated jazz.

The musical legacy of Duke Ellington ~ considered amongst the world’s greatest composers and musicians ~ is celebrated in this stylish and brassy retrospective that has taken audiences and critics alike by storm throughout the world. SOPHISTICATED LADIES is a glorious recreation of the Duke Ellington big band sound, featuring his most famous numbers from the infamous Speak Easy era of the Cotton Club, the Harlem Renaissance, art deco and high society, including: "It Don't Mean a Thing, If It Ain't Got That Swing", "Take the 'A' Train", "Satin Doll" and the haunting "In a Sentimental Mood".
