The
Cotton Club was a
famous night club in Harlem, New York City that operated during
Prohibition and included jazz music. During its heyday, the
Cotton
Club served as a chic meeting spot in the heart of Harlem, featuring
regular "Celebrity Nights" on Sundays. Celebrities such as Jimmy Durante, George Gershwin, Al Jolson, Mae West, Irving Berlin, Eddie
Cantor, Moss Hart, New York mayor Jimmy Walker and other luminaries
would frequent the club.
Forget
Prohibition, its time
for Pastiche to take your guests back to the roaring 20's, and the
reinvention of the infamous Cotton Club, with our
1920's Cotton Club Theme.
As guests arrive they will be asked on entry for the secret
password, by one of the gangster doormen. Once inside, guests are
invited onto the red carpet and walk through the gold canopy
entrance, into the Twenties dance club, whilst
1920's Paparazzi photographers
will be snapping away!
Guests will hear the authentic sounds of our very own 1920's jazz
band, playing hits like Glen Miller's 'In The Mood', and other big
band hits, therefore setting the scene for the evening. Pre dinner
drinks are served in tea cups, as of course, we are in the time of
Prohibition and guests are now in an illicit 1920's drinking den!
Black and white wall and ceiling drapes, and unique illuminated art
deco, adorn the walls and surround the room, all adding atmosphere.
Charleston Stilt Walkers will meet and greet guests, whilst Flapper
girls will mix and mingle. You might also see some of the Hollywood
stars from the silent movies, with Charlie Chaplin and Laurel &
Hardy reported to be in the Cotton Club this
evening. 1920's living statues and living tables will add to the
entertainment on offer, whilst a Flapper Girl shows off her hula
hoop skills. A card shark will be set up on a table performing card
magic for guests. Hat Check Girls will be walking around trying to
make extra money and tips selling from their trays.
Dinner is announced and guests take their seats at their
sophisticated night club table, for a serious evening of dancing.
During Dinner or after the guest speakers, guests are treated to the
main event and enjoy the best in Twenties dancing, as we introduce
'Sophistication'. Our lovely young floozies, brought to you all the
way from Chicago - performing a variety of dances, including tap
dance routines and not forgetting the famous energetic Charleston,
with lots of cheek and fun, to sensuous Jazz Lyrical numbers. |
