Swinging on A Star July 4, 2008

'Swinging on a Star' is a musical celebration of Academy Award-winning lyricist Johnny Burke, written by Michael Leeds. The fabulous songs of Johnny Burke are here perfectly woven into various settings and scenes as if they always belonged there. You move from a smoky 1920s Chicago Speakeasy, where you hear such songs as 'Dr. Rhythm' and 'What's New' to the Bowery for the classic 'Pennies from Heaven' and others. The journey continues to a glittering ballroom for the immortal 'Imagination' and then takes you into the world of Paramount's Hope/Crosby/Lamour 'Road Movies' and the songs they made famous.
