From everything I had heard about Swing!, I didn't expect there to be any story. I just expected a concert with dancing. The information I had received was very misleading. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that there was most definitely a story in Swing!. The story was just told more by dance and movement than anything else. It was really a fun show - especially if you like swing music.
The cast of the touring company is great, the music is wonderful, the dancing is amazing, and the story is really cute. Definitely a much better show than it's advertised. Their marketing department isn't doing Swing! justice.
