The MGM Story cast

Joe Stilgoe, the jazz singer, pianist and songwriter, is coming to Keswick's Theatre by the Lake for one night only on Monday February 13 with his show Songs on Film following a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe. The following night the venue also stages The MGM Story, a musical drama which traces the history of the golden age of song and dance.

Songs on Film features Joe and his band, with some of the great tunes from the movie world, from Disney to Tarantino, arranged in original and stylish orchestrations.

The MGM Story tells the tale of how the studio fostered the talents of stars including Judy Garland and Gene Kelly, and composers such as Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and more.
