Song Man Dance Man

The West Coast Premiere of the Off-Broadway one-man show!

If theatre is your thrill, then the rush that you get from that rare creature, the all-round entertainer, thrills you to bits! Jon Peterson, Emcee from Broadway's revival of CABARET and Drama Desk Nominee for his portrayal of George M Cohan in the off-Broadway production GEORGE M. COHAN TONIGHT! brings to you seven subjects for this intimate musical revue; seven extraordinary artists who epitomize the true package. They not only made music, but each, in their own individual way, created another world.

* George M. Cohan, who invented the song and dance man and the Broadway musical.

* Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, who brought their own unique excellence to revolutionize the movie musical.

* Donald O'Connor, perhaps the freshest talent of them all, who struggled to gain his rightful place in Hollywood.

* Sammy Davis Jr, whose undeniable talent and troubled soul put him right at the top and made him fight for equality.

* Bobby Darin, who transformed himself from 50's pop-star to sophisticated concert artist, only to have his career cut short by a heart ravaged by childhood illness.

* Anthony Newley, whose eccentric Cockney brilliance and throbbing
emotional style shook the musical theatre world.

These men stood alone and entertained. This small, musical revue is merely an acknowledgment.
