Worthing fun for British Rat Pack fans!

Fans of the Rat Pack and the music of the American Song Book are being offered a very British alternative for 2018. Crooners comes to Worthing on Friday, September 28 with a brand-new comedy musical promising to put a quintessentially-British twist to a genre symbolised by the Crooner and exemplified by the music of the Rat Pack and the American Song Book.

The comedy musical is a collaboration between comedy writer and performer Roman Marek, and one of the UK’s most prolific modern swing bands, The Mini Big Band, and features music of the greatest crooners of all time; Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jnr as well as Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin and Britain’s very own Matt Monro.

Script writer Roman said: “We love the music of the Rat Pack and the great crooners and wanted to combine that with our love of the British variety comedy show. We wanted a show that makes British audiences laugh out loud, an all-singing, all-dancing musical comedy, the likes of Morecambe and Wise.

“Crooners follows the story of three very British gentlemen who, by their very nature, exude the characteristics of a crooner; suave, self-assured, stylish. But, by the very same nature, it is not always obvious that these characteristics adapt quite so well to the quintessentially British. Cue a splendiferous injection of British comedy. Tongue firmly in cheek.”
