OFF STAGE VOICES REQUIEM AETERNAM, DONA EIS DOMINE ET LUX PERPETUA LUCEAT EIS Throughout the dialogue, a “film noir-style” arrangement of EEE- O-ELEVEN creeps in. 2-2B PROLOGUE 2-2B PROLOGUE (PTS 1-3) HEAVENLY VOICES/EEE-O-ELEVEN/JUKEBOX CUES SFX: Buzz. A voice over is heard. Stars blink or become brighter as characters enter and/or talk. SECRETARY (VOICE OVER) God…God, your three o’clock is here. GOD (VOICE OVER) Great. SECRETARY (VOICE OVER) Shall I cancel your lunch with Moses? GOD (VOICE OVER) Tell him I’ll call him next week. SECRETARY (VOICE OVER) Will do. Should I send them in now? GOD (VOICE OVER) Please. Three stars brighten on star-drop/scrim, like the belt of Orion. (With enthusiasm) Frankie…Frankie baby, Dino, Sammy…Get over here. Forget the gate, Peter will get it. First, let me say what a thrill it was to have you sing at my birthday party last week. When you boys sang, “When the saints go Marching in”…Did you see them all on their feet? And getting Peter, Paul and Mary to sing backup…I tell you, it’s good to be God… Page 2 (Suddenly serious) …Until tonight. I got a problem boys, a big problem, and I need you three to fix it. Frank, Frank, let me do the talking. Up here, I’m the chairman of the board. Now, look down there… We bleed through the scrim of stars as a jukebox on stage lights up and underscoring shifts to Film Noir-Style. See that bar? No, not Caesar’s Palace, over there, the old Vegas strip…that little hole in the wall next to Hooters. The lights continue up, revealing the inside of a small, seedy bar. A banner reading “HAPPY NEW YEAR! – 1999” hangs on the back wall next to three large photos of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. The place is crammed with other RAT PACK memorabilia. A well-dressed man, WILLIAM SAUNDERS, is asleep at the bar, clutching an empty bottle of Jack Daniel’s, two suitcases surround him. BOBBY, a fairly worn-out man, enters from the back room, sets up the lounge for the night, taking the chairs off the tables and cleaning some of the RAT PACK memorabilia. Dialogue continues uninterrupted as the vocal of EEE-O-ELEVEN underscores what follows. GOD (VOICE OVER) That’s The Rat Pack Lounge. A special comes up on VIC. GOD Ah…here comes our guy now. VIC JR. walks DSC and pulls a gun from the bag. HE puts the gun back. The gun falls through the paper bag landing on the floor. VIC Jesus Christ! GOD (VOICE OVER) Why do people have to say that? KATHERINE and JEORGE enter with bags. KATHERINE (Taking bag from JEORGE) Here’s your bag, Mr. Saunders. MR. SAUNDERS Make mine a double, cowboy. KATHERINE I’m going to try and get some cell service so I can reschedule this flight. (To JEORGE) And make sure he doesn’t drink. Page 3 JEORGE (Looking at the pictures, and memorabilia) Wow, mira todas estas cosas lindas. Eh … mira pa' ya … Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr.…me encantan estos tipos…el Rat Pack. (Wow, look at all these beautiful things. Ooo…Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr….I love these guys…The Rat Pack.) JEORGE sits at table. KATHERINE (Exiting) Since when does it snow in Las Vegas? Voices and underscoring continues GOD (VOICE OVER) Frank, at exactly 11:57 tonight, your pal, Vic Candelino is going to put a bullet through his head because of something you said over twenty-five years ago. You know the rules…no one can stay in heaven and be responsible for the death of another human being. If you three want to stay up here, you must go down there and fix this! Keep this kid alive, or spend the rest of eternity in the fires of Hell with Peter Lawford! He accidentally kicks the bucket BOBBY has left behind. The bucket hits the jukebox. It instantly changes to… SFX: Record skip. High Hopes - Instrumental VIC hits the jukebox, the song changes to an upbeat loud… Cacophony of hit hooks – Instrumental SFX: Record skipping, Thunder/Lighting…electrical shock VIC tries to stop the jukebox by hitting it. Every time VIC hits the jukebox the record ships to a new hook, getting faster and faster. VIC kicks over Bobby’s bucket of water. (To jukebox) Shut up! Enough of you! Stop, damn it! Shut up! I said stop! VIC reaches to unplug the jukebox and gets an electrical shock that sends him flying across the room in a sea of sparks, as the music builds to a cacophony.

Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

  • Sammy Davis Jr
    Famous New Yorker Sammy Davis Jr. Sammy Davis Jr. struggled with racism for much of his career, but his success as a performer and celebrity helped Americans envision racial equality in the world of entertainment. Samuel George Davis Jr. was born in Harlem, New York City, on December 8, 1925. Sammy Davis Sr. was a dancer in a touring troupe led by Will Mastin. When his marriage broke up, Davis took Sammy Jr. on the road with the Mastin troupe. Junior was a precocious mimic of his father’s and Mastin’s dance moves and became their partner in the Will Mastin Trio. To dodge child labor laws, Mastin sometimes claimed that Junior was an adult midget. In 1933, Mastin and Davis took the seven year old to a Brooklyn movie studio to make his fi lm debut in the short subject Rufus Jones for President. Davis Sr. tried to shield his son as much as possible Sammy Davis Jr. with President from the bigotry of his time. Sammy Davis Jr. later Richard Nixon.

  • Frank's World
    Chris Rojek / Frank Sinatra Final Proof 9.7.2004 10:22pm page 7 one FRANK’S WORLD Frank Sinatra was a World War One baby, born in 1915.1 He became a popular music phenomenon during the Second World War. By his own account, audiences adopted and idol- ized him then not merely as an innovative and accomplished vocalist – his first popular sobriquet was ‘‘the Voice’’ – but also as an appealing symbolic surrogate for American troops fighting abroad. In the late 1940s his career suffered a precipitous de- cline. There were four reasons for this. First, the public perception of Sinatra as a family man devoted to his wife, Nancy, and their children, Nancy, Frank Jr and Tina, was tarnished by his high-octane affair with the film star Ava Gardner. The public face of callow charm and steadfast moral virtue that Sinatra and his publicist George Evans concocted during his elevation to celebrity was damaged by his admitted adultery. Sinatra’s reputation for possessing a violent temper – he punched the gossip columnist Lee Mortimer at Ciro’s night- club2 and took to throwing tantrums and hurling abuse at other reporters when the line of questioning took a turn he disap- proved of – became a public issue at this time. Second, servicemen were understandably resentful of Sina- tra’s celebrity status. They regarded it as having been easily achieved while they fought, and their comrades died, overseas. Some members of the media stirred the pot by insinuating that Sinatra pulled strings to avoid the draft. During the war, like most entertainers, Sinatra made a virtue of his patriotism in his stage act and music/film output.

  • {PDF EPUB} the Peter Lawford Story Life with the Kennedys Monroe and the Rat Pack by Patricia Lawford Stewart the Tragic History of the Rat Pack
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Peter Lawford Story Life with the Kennedys Monroe and the Rat Pack by Patricia Lawford Stewart The Tragic History Of The Rat Pack. The Rat Pack is the epitome of Mad Men- style old-school cool. As Colin Bertram of Biography tells us, the legendary group of entertainers were originally acquaintances who used to hang around at Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall's home in Los Angeles. Before their most famous line- up, they had a Who's Who list of satellite members that included David Niven, Spencer Tracy, and Robert Mitchum. They were by no means a "men only" club, either: Early on, legendary ladies such as Ava Gardner, Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn counted themselves in the group's ranks. In fact, the Rat Pack didn't even really want to be one. They actually liked to be called "The Summit" or "The Clan." Still, regardless of their full list of members or original naming aspirations, history has come to know the group as the Rat Pack, and Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop are considered its core members. As effortlessly awesome as the group appeared to be, there was actually a lot of turmoil and sadness behind the scenes. Today, we'll take a look at the tragic history of the Rat Pack. Peter Lawford's right hand. If you're hard-pressed to name an iconic Peter Lawford movie, you probably won't be alone. Though his IMDb page shows that his acting career was lengthy and impressive, his entry on the Hollywood Walk of Fame website tells us that Lawford also had a couple of other things playing in his favor.
