Propaganda Swing

Work:: Propaganda Swing (S1196358196)

Singers, Swastikas and All That Jazz! The jazz scene in 1930s' Berlin was one of the most vibrant and exciting in the world - a time captured brilliantly in Kander & Ebb's musical, Cabaret. But what happened to those talented singers and musicians as the Nazis' grip tightened? The Nazis hated jazz - they saw it as decadent and impure. But one of them, Propaganda Ministry official, Karl 'Charly' Schwedler, understood its true power. And he made it his mission to harness that power as a weapon. Propaganda Swing throws a spotlight on the gripping true story of 'Charly and his Orchestra'. Featuring a fantastic swing band live on stage, this enthralling show reveals the characters behind the story of how some of the greatest German jazz musicians of the day entered into a Faustian pact with the Fascists - they could keep playing their beloved music at the price of seeing it corrupted for evil.
