Just some of the rave reviews about "Swinging on a Star The Johnny Burke Musical":
"Johnny Burke wrote his songs with moonbeams! Songs poured out of him like life-renewing raindrops, glinting like pennies." NY Times.
"A Winner! You'll have a ball! Grab the chance to Swing on this Star! NY Post.
"A dazzling, toe-tapping, finger-snapping delight!" ABC Radio Network.
"It feels awfully good! A brazen infectious delight!" NY Times.
"We exit swinging too!" NY Newsday.
From a smoky 1920s Chicago Speakeasy, with songs like "Dr. Rhythm" and "What's New", to the Bowery for the classic "Pennies from Heaven" and more, the fabulous songs of Johnny Burke are perfectly woven into diverse settings and scenes as if they always belonged there. The ever popular "Your Hit Parade" transports the audience to the 1930s, into a World War II USO show for several numbers, including "Personality", and culminates with the Academy Award winning "Swinging on aStar." The journey continues to a glittering ballroom for the immortal "Imagination" and then into the world of Paramount's Hope/Crosby/Lamour Road Movies and the songs they made famous. The evening ends in the Starlight Supperclub, high atop Manhattan, with a celebration of Burke's genius.
Other favorites included are "Misty," "You're Not the Only Oyster in the Stew," "Ain't It a Shame About Mame," "Scatterbrain," "One, Two, Button Your Shoe," "An Apple for the Teacher," "There's Always the Blues," "Apalachicola," "But, Beautiful," "Like Someone in Love," "If Love Ain't There (It Ain't There)," "Sunday, Monday, or Always," and "Here's That Rainy Day."
