The Swingles will launch their latest album Theatreland at Bloomsbury Studio & Theatre in central London on Monday 2 September.
Theatreland is a spectacular celebration of some of the greatest musical theatre songs as you’ve never heard them before. Famed for their signature blend and innovative vocal textures, The Swingles reimagine vintage and modern show tunes alike, taking you on a journey through the bright lights of Broadway sensations such as A Chorus Line, Guys and Dolls, and Hair, to the heartwarming ballads of more recent hits including Waitress, Hadestown, and Dear Evan Hansen.
The inception of Theatreland began in 2021; amid a period in which the arts faced unprecedented challenges, the group turned to discussions of the music that made them happiest. Driven by a passion to honour and revive such admired music, the singers hand-picked their favourite songs from a variety of musicals, with a balance of songs that intuitively suited the group’s distinctive sound, as well as ones they wanted to give their signature Swingle twist to.Over the last three years, the group have dedicated countless hours and boundless energy to bring this ambitious project to life. Each track on the album reflects their commitment to blending timeless melodies with contemporary vocal artistry.
