Unforgettable Big Band at Hershey Area Playhouse

Swingin’ big band music is always alive at the Hershey Area Playhouse, with an unforgettable performance from the Unforgettable Big Band on April 1 and 2, 2022.

Join us as we celebrate with a tip-of-the-hat to one of America’s greatest comics, Bob Hope. The Unforgettable Big Band is bringing back the jokes and the music of Hope’s long-time “house band” Les Brown and the Band Of Renown, as well as Les’ protégé Doris Day, whose 100th birthday is being commemorated this year. There will be lots of fun and toe-tapping music to celebrate the Greatest Generation and Bob’s decades of USO shows around the world.

Ticket holders interested in dance instruction are welcome to come an hour early with dance lessons with Doug Miller.
