Swan Lake In Blue

Created and Composed by Steve Bass

Recorded in 2015 as a studio album

Adapted in 2019 for the stage at Greater Boston Stage Company with original choreography by Ilyse Robbins.

Swan Lake in Blue revolutionizes the concept of traditional ballet with an all-new jazz score for a 17-piece big band and 12-15 tap, jazz, and lyrical dancers. Set in 1940’s New York, Swan Lake in Blue tells the story of a Broadway producer who falls in love with a burlesque dancer, only to find out she is owned by the mob and forced to perform nightly at The Swan Club.
Story adapted from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.
