Swinging on a Star is described as "the toe-tapping, finger-snapping celebration of the music of Johnny Burke, one of America’s most prolific and successful songwriters of the early twentieth century. From a smoky 1920’s Speakeasy to the Bowery of the 1930’s, from a World War II USO performance to a 1950’s Manhattan supper club, Swinging on a Star perfectly weaves various settings and scenes with some of most popular songs of a generation."
Songs included in the musical are “Pennies from Heaven,” “Imagination,” “Misty,” “Here’s That Rainy Day,” “Road to Morocco,” “Going My Way,” “Moonlight Becomes You,” “Swinging on a Star” and more.
Written by Michael Leeds, Swinging on a Star opened at the Music Box Theatre on Broadway in 1995 and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Musical.
