Club Vaudeville

Music from the 1920s and 30s forms the basis for both the album and theatre production ‘Club Vaudeville’. Within the mysterious night clubs of New York, Paris and Berlin, jazz and classical musicians started to play entertainment music in musicals and vaudeville shows. This all comes together in Club Vaudeville, a place where night owls and the extravagant meet. The album ‘Club Vaudeville’, with unique adaptations of popular French, German and American songs of the time, will be released on October 20, 2017. The theater tour will start off on Tuesday October 31 (14:00) in the theatre hall of Haarlem.

Both the after effects of World War I and the increasing tension which would eventually lead to World War II have their effects on the music. Not only optimism and relief, but also defeatism and decadence set the tone.
