1940s Big Band Musical at the Paramount This Sunday

Editor’s Note: Our giveaway is now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated! Our three winners are Richard Koehler, Justin Brosig and Laura S.

Many of us feel like we were born in the wrong era. For me, I often wish I had done my growing up in the 1960’s. I can imagine myself dancing on American Bandstand and profoundly appreciating the impact of influential Americans like Kennedy and Dr. King.

If you have a love for the 1940’s – particularly Big Band music and energized swing dancing – your chance to experience the era is coming to Austin this Sunday. In the Mood is playing at the Paramount Theatre on Congress Ave., and we’re excited to give away some passes to the Austinot community!

About the Show

This short video will give you a great idea of what you’re in for if you go see In the Mood this weekend:

Now in its 20th season, the show promises to be an exciting combination of singing and dancing from a cast of nineteen people. The proof is in the reviews, with 4.4/5 stars on Ticketmaster.

“Much more than just a concert, In the Mood is a fully staged tribute to Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman and the big band greats of the ’40s. Complete with authentic costumes and choreography, In the Mood pays homage to America’s greatest generation, when people listened and boogied to up-tempo big band rhythms and danced to intimate ballads.”
–In the Mood press release

In the Mood will be performed at 3 PM this Sunday. Tickets start at $35 and can be purchased online from AustinTheatre.org.
