NEW YORK—“Tappin' Thru Life” is a singing and dancing trip down memory lane by the dazzling Maurice Hines. The show, written and choreographed by the star, is a tribute to his family. At 72, Maurice is a remarkably spry dancer, and he is also a likeable singer and entertaining raconteur.
Hines began dancing professionally with his younger brother, Gregory, when they were children. They eventually formed a team with their father, “Hines, Hines and Dad.” Later, the two brothers appeared together in nightclubs, Broadway shows, such as “Eubie,” and on film. Their last appearance together was in the 1984 Francis Ford Coppola movie, “The Cotton Club.”
Maurice Hines included musical numbers like "Luck Be a Lady," "I've Got You Under My Skin," and "It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing."Carol Rosegg
