Based around the song duets Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong recorded on three albums with the Oscar Peterson Quartet in the late 1950s, the show presents these iconic songs true to the original arrangements alongside a vast repertoire of solo songs they both recorded and performed.
You’re in for a treat at this gig packed with the great sound of the swing era from composers like Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Rodgers and Hart, and George Gershwin, with songs such as They Can’t Take That Away From Me, A Fine Romance, I Won’t Dance, Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off. Plus solo songs from Ella and Louis including Manhattan, My Funny Valentine, Love for Sale, Just One of Those Things, Hello Dolly and Wonderful World.
