The Shedd Institute’s Musical Theatre Training Academy presents its 3rd semi-annual Revue, this edition being dedicated to the fabulous songs from the mid-1930s RKO Radio Pictures films featuring the legendary Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. They did 9 films for RKO--including such classics as Roberta, Swing Time, Top Hat, Follow The Fleet, and Shall We Dance--all with wonderful scores by songwriting greats Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, George & Ira Gershwin, and Jerome Kern & Dorothy Fields.
Two shows (at 4:30 and 8:30 pm), cabaret seating, bar open throughout each performance in the Tykeson Lobby.
