The Music of Moulin Rouge, Boardwalk Empire and More! Imagine time-traveling through the dark cabarets and speakeasies of New York, Paris, Berlin, London, Chicago, and Atlantic City, reliving the 1920s in all its decadence . . . Prohibition, Gangsters, Ingenues, and Intrigue. Accompanied by vintage imagery and video, Prohibition takes you on a journey from Rudy Vallée and Josephine Baker to Kurt Weill and King Oliver, featuring the top hits of the decade authentically arranged for orchestra by Grammy-winner Jeff Tyzik. Prohibition, while suitable for all ages, contains adult themes and imagery.
