The Retro Pack – Jazz on Broadway

NZ

Returning to the Kapiti Playhouse with a brand new show, The Retro Pack pay tribute to Broadway’s brightest lights. The famed avenue has been home to some of the most talented and sophisticated composers, many with jazz-oriented roots.

Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern and Irving Berlin are three of the most significant theatrical composers of the early 20th century; represented on Broadway hundreds of times. Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, and Mel Brooks have penned time-tested musical gems that continue to uplift and entertain on Broadway and on record. Curtain up! Light the lights! For a New York state of mind.

The Retro Pack's previous shows include the award-winning Blue Eyes; a tribute to Frank Sinatra, Unforgettable – the Story of Nat King Cole and The Glory of Gershwin (2016 Wellington Jazz Festival).
