Favourites such as "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off", "A Fine Romance", "A Foggy Day", "They Can't Take That Away From Me", "The Way You Look Tonight",as well as songs they sang alone and with other partners - such as Ginger's "We're In the Money" and "Embraceable You", which turned her into an overnight star (choreographed by none other than Fred Astaire!) and Fred's "Night and Day" and "Something's Gotta Give."• All of the great songwriters couldn't wait to write for this incomparable pair and Karen Oberlin and Steve Ross bring this glorious music to ebullient life. Their show evokes the style, humour and charm that have kept Fred and Ginger known, loved and admired since their first film appearance in "Flying Down to Rio" more than 80 years ago. Karen Oberlin's Ginger is the perfect match to Ross's Astaire. Call for cover/minimum information.
