When Don Hewes’ (Astaire) dance partner deserts him in order to pursue her own career, the Broadway idol braggingly makes a bet that he can make any chorus girl into a star. Almost at random he chooses Hannah Brown (Garland). After trying unsuccessfully to turn Hannah into a version of his previous partner, Don comes to recognise Hannah’s unique talents and the pair embark on a career of their own. Among the musical highlights are Astaire’s slow-motion version of Steppin’ Out, and the famous Astaire/Garland duet We’re a Couple of Swells. This is light, whimsical, entertainment featuring two all-time greats in Garland and Astaire.

This event is part of the Creative Ageing Programme, which is kindly supported by the Big Lottery Reaching Communities fund.
