What I liked

Swell show from start to finish. Multi-talented performer like in the old days. The hour whizzed by.
Musical Theater
Sassy raconteur
Golden Age of Hollywood

What I didn't like

The man seated next to me kept his cell phone on his lap and flipped it over various times during the show to look at it and type. His behavior was selfish and rude to the performer and the audience in our row. He ought to have stayed home. PLEASE tell people to SILENCE their cell phones and PUT THEM AWAY.

My overall impression

Apparently, the A Train traveled from deep in the heart of Texas to Hollywood to Broadway to Sugar Hill in Harlem. So, take the A Train and boog it to see Shake It Away: The Ann Miller story. You’ll hear gorgeous Kayla Boye (as Ann Miller) sing and rhythmically tap dance through a succession of colorful stories told in a perfect 1940s accent, including the chance childhood encounter with Bill “Bojangles” Robinson that changed her life and her late-night showbiz adventures with bosom buddy Lucille Ball.
