Lose yourself in the world of The Blue Star, a glamorous and decadent world of jazz and swing. This immersive experience takes you through the war and post-war experiences of the club's dancers, as they navigate the difficulties of war and find love in unexpected places. You won't just be watching the show, you'll be a part of it, free to dance and interact with the performers. Lose yourself in the sultry intrigue and electric atmosphere of the 1940s and escape the modern world for a night you won't soon forget.
