Swingadelic,
the best "little big band" around, takes the Centenary Stage on July 7th at 8 p.m. The band formed in
1998 as the neo-swing movement was just gaining momentum and according to The Star Ledger's Zan Stewart makes "listeners
feel good with its range of offerings from slow, steamy blues and foot-stomping swing to more modern fare." Swingadelic
has played venues up and down the eastern seaboard including Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night Swing and has produced
a number of albums including their newest release The Other Duke, a valentine to the music of Duke Pearson, hailed
for being "big-hearted, good-time, feelin'-fine jazz played with serious proficiency."

The exuberant Cab Calloway Orchestra will keep

certainly got the music together, there's just no question about it." The twelve piece orchestra combines
impeccable musicianship with legendary showmanship while sharing the irresistible rhythms and red-hot lyrics that
the Cab Calloway Orchestra has been famous for since the 1920's.

Some Reviews from Previous Seasons
Loose Knit - 2009-10 Season
"...it was terrific."
"Nicely staged, excellent cast and Rebeck’s a great writer. She makes you think as hard as you
laugh."
"The professional Centenary Stage Company has nailed its last main-stage production of the season."
William Westhoven/DailyRecord.com
Underneath The Lintel - 2009-10 Season
'...with Dennis’ work as worthy of view as Schiff’s (and, it’s worth pointing out, available
for roughly
half the price). Even those who saw “Lintel” at George Street should find new delights
in this production.'
William Westhoven/DailyRecord.com
The Clandestine Marriage - 2009-10 Season
"Taking an old play and putting it in a new setting is a risky business.
Director Carl Wallnau and the
Centenary Stage Company have pulled it off
handsomely in their current production, "The Clandestine Marriage."
Sheila Abrams, Contributing Writer, Recorder Community Newspapers
Christmas at the Small Empire Music Hall - 2008-09 Season
"As a director, Rickman shows he's researched what these shows looked like
way back when. But he and Tiedemann display something far more
important:
They aren't mocking, or even spoofing this entertainment of
yore. They're just putting it out there
one mo' time for us so we can
discover what our great-great grandfathers enjoyed, and find that
we can
get a kick out of it, too.
"
Peter
Filichia, The Star Ledger
Daphne Does Dim Sum - 2007-08 Season
"Like our favorite Chinese food, the play is warm and comforting, but not without
an occasional spicy bite to lend it character...Chan's play provides a soothing
sustenance."
Recorder Newspapers
Quartermaine's Terms - 2006-07 Season
"There isn't a weak link in the cast... Director Carl Wallnau goes to the head
of the class with this one."
Peter
Filichia, Star-Ledger Staff |
