“Hollywood Hits” - The Elkin Big Band at The Reeves Theater

One of the most popular shows of the season, our “Hollywood Hits'“ show features charts from movie soundtracks, Broadway and TV theme songs - think Mission Impossible, Sanford & Son, MASH, Sesame Street. Everyone knows these songs and hearing them will bring back fond memories. Always a crowd favorite, we augment this program annually with new songs. This is a really great show for newcomers and for young musicians who have never seen the EBB before as so much of the setlist is easily recognizable. This is also a show skewed towards uptempo so be prepared for some toe-tapping and a more than a few "woohoos". Get your spring fully operational with an evening of big band jazz at the Reeves Theater, right here in downtown Elkin.
