| Bob Rumba as "Ed Sullivan." |
Celebrity look-a-like Bob Rumba has appeared on TV shows like "America’s Funniest People" and "Oprah" and numerous TV commercials such as McDonald’s, Sunkist, Nine Lives and United Airlines and now can be seen nightly as Ed Sullivan on stage with the Liverpool Legends at the Caravelle Theatre in Branson.
"We wanted to take our show to another level following our award-winning 2006 in Branson. Bob Rumba as Ed Sullivan is perfect to help us recreate the history making appearance of the Beatles in their first television appearance in America," said Marty Scott who plays the George Harrison of the group. With Rumba’s Ed Sullivan and his "really big sheeew" the audience takes a look back to that February in 1964 that has been called the most important event in rock history.
The Liverpool Legends are four talented musicians and actors who were hand-picked by Louise Harrison, sister of the late George Harrison of The Beatles. They present their ultimate Beatles experience at 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday at the theater located at 3446 W. Hwy. 76.
"I’ve known Bob for years and always admired his talent and sense of humor. He was delighted to take this opportunity to enjoy the Ozarks," Scott said.
Rumba is a professional ventriloquist, comic and Hollywood-lookalike (Groucho, Charlie Chaplin, Barney Fife, Stan Laurel, Peter Sellers) with a host of other talents. In addition to "America’s Funniest People" and "Oprah" he has been seen on the "Steve Allen and Carl Reiner Special," The Comedy Channel, "Kids Are People Too" and Fox’s "30 Seconds of Fame." During his remarkable career, Rumba has opened for Barbara Mandrell, Neil Sedaka, Manhattan Transfer, Judy Tenuta, Tony Bennett, Tom Jones, Roger Ebert, Larry Linville (M.A.S.H.) and Hanna Barbera.
The Liverpool Legends perform songs spanning the entire career of The Beatles and on through the solo years with precise attention to every musical detail, along with costume changes, vintage instruments and special effects. In 2006 they won an unprecedented first-year double award as Best New Show and Best Band in Branson by Branson Critic Magazine.
