About the show:

Based on six subjects, this intimate musical revue epitomizes the true entertainment package. They not only made great music, but each, in their own individual way, created a world of magic with what they brought to the table.

George M. Cohan: The man who invented the song and dance man.

Fred Astaire & Gene Kelly: Each brought their unique excellence that revolutionized the movie musical.

Sammy Davis Jr: Staked his claim as one of the world's great all-round entertainers against the odds in the face of racism of the America of the day.

Anthony Newley: His eccentric, Cockney brilliance shook the musical world.

Charles Aznavour: He always wove many webs through his mesmerizing storytelling.

These men stood alone and entertained.

This intimate musical revue is merely an acknowledgment of their greatness.
