"Swing In" the New Year with the One and Only Tommy Dorsey Orchestra!
There will be two shows on New Year's Eve: The first show is a concert
from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM. The second show is a concert and dance party
from 9:30 PM - 12:15 AM, and will include party favors and a champagne
toast at midnight. The Franklin Theatre will ring-out the old year and
“Swing-In” the new with a distinctive evening and rare middle
Tennessee appearance by the one and only Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. The
theatre opened its doors to the public in 1937 on Franklin’s
historic Main Street. To honor the era that first welcomed the
theatre, the evening will promise 1930s swank with a 21st century
flair featuring two performances by this legendary dance band. No
group in Big Band history can get a crowd swinging like the Tommy
Dorsey Orchestra! Known as the “Sentimental Gentleman of Swing,"
Tommy Dorsey was a master at creating superb dancing and listening
arrangements. Tommy’s work included collaborations with the likes of
Paul Weston, Axel Stordahl and Sy Oliver, and showcased singers who
could project them brilliantly; most notably the leader of the Rat
Pack himself, Frank Sinatra. The music world lost Tommy at an early
age, but his legacy of great music has transcended time. The Tommy
Dorsey Orchestra repertoire continues to entertain audiences of all
ages throughout the world. Sponsored by Jackson National Life.
