All Singin' All Dancin', according to press notes, is an "exhilarating extravaganza of song and dance designed to bring audiences to their feet, cheering. Inspired by the legendary Broadway dance of The Astaires, Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson, Gower Champion, Bob Fosse, and Jerome Robbins, this is a concert event like no other. The show will consist of original choreography created exclusively for this concert and will be set to some of the greatest show music ever written including 'Slaughter on Tenth Avenue' and 'Cell Block Tango.'"
