Answer 1

There's an old Movie/Musical called On The Town that is awesome. Also check out Victor/Victoria (not really a crooner musical but the singig and dancing is great). Kis Me Kate is a good one too. Chicago.

Here is a list of 100 greatest musicals.

And if you get a change, a great off broadway producion is Stomp. It's amazing!!

Answer 2

I suggest you try listening to: Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dean Martin. You can go wrong with any of these Music legends.

Answer 3

Try Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby.
