THE ICONS

So let me introduce the Icons, in order of appearance.




Humphry Bogart, the owner of the bar and original founder of the Rat Pack. He had many film successes but will always be remembered for Casablanca.

In "Of All The Bars" Bogart has opened his own bar and every night is joined by an array of famous icons.




Sam. Piano player extraordinaire and famed for his rendition of "As Time Goes By".

However in "Of All The Bars" Bogart has once again told him never to play it.




Elvis. The king of Rock and Roll. When he stood on the stage and shock his hips women swooned and the course of music changed overnight.


Tonight Elvis once again steps on stage and lets just see what the ladies think.





Groucho Marx, leader of the infamous Marx brothers, Groucho was noted for his acid put downs and witty one liners. When Groucho was around noone was safe from ridicule.
In Of All The Bars Groucho is a sharp witted drunk, it's nice to see that some things never change!



Jerry Lewis, one of the best loved comics of his day. He appeared in many films, was Dean Martins side kick, a member of the rat pack and still managed to have a solo career as a comic.

Tonight Jerry once again shows his comic prowess as he views all around him.




Frank Sinatra, the legend, the man. King of swing, when Frank talked or sang everyone listened. His renditions of other peoples songs, soon became known as his songs and noone was ever going to argue. Say what you like but Frank always did it, his way.

Tonight Frank vies for the attention of Jane Russell.




Dean Martin, the joker in the pack. Always smiling, always drinking he never took his life, nor his act, too serious. The result was, if you wanted to hear him sing a full song he would tell you to buy the record.

While Sinatra tries to woo Jane, he only has eyes for Marilyn.




Bing Crosby. the gentleman of the group. A family man who prided himself on good family traditions and Christmas songs. But there was so much more to the man.

In "Of All The Bars" Bing is still as cool as he ever was.




There are icons and then there is Marilyn Monroe. Has there ever been a more talked about woman in the world? Her stunning looks often hid how talented this woman really was.

Tonight Marilyn has to fight off the attentions of a whole bar.




Jane Russell was to dark hair what Marilyn was to Blonde. A stunning woman that could sing, dance and act. She resented being known only for her looks and was vocal about it. Cross this woman at your peril.

With a little help from Marilyn, Jane is now getting more attention than she wants!
