Bobby Darin, determined to be a legend by age 25, conquered show business as a singer, songwriter, actor, and producer. Headlining everywhere from the legendary Copacabana to Las Vegas, Darin was a consummate showman. Mack the Knife celebrates the spirited and immense talent of one of the great performers of the 20th century. Featuring his greatest hits such as “Splish Splash,” “Beyond the Sea,” “Dream Lover,” and of course, “Mack the Knife.”

More Info
Characters:
Man 1 and Man 2: Bobby Darrin super fans. Bronx boys from the neighborhood.
Woman 1: Stands in for Sandra Dee, Connie Francis, and several of Bobby’s loves. Can play instruments with the band.
Casting Note: While parts can be adapted as needed, I think it is important that the female role has to play the bass. The music is demanding and each individual performer must be charismatic in their roles
Setting: A Vegas-type cabaret or lounge. Should be large enough for the band to be on stage.
