Greg LondonLooking for a fun, entertaining evening? Don’t want to spend $100-plus per ticket? Go see Greg London’s ICONS (pictured), which opened recently at the Mardi Gras Theatre in the Riviera Hotel. We went to the Saturday night show and had a foot tapping, hand clapping, laughing good time.

The show opens with the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator instructing the audience on proper conduct and warning us to turn off our cell phones or "be terminated."

London comes onstage and quickly gets into character with a very believable Johnny Cash ("Ring of Fire," "Walk the Line"), followed by Joe Cocker ("Unchain My Heart") and Tom Jones ("Delilah").

Throughout the hour-long show we were entertained with at least 30 different impersonations covering a wide range of musical tastes, including Dean MartinLouis ArmstrongRod StewartTony BennettMacy GrayWillie Nelson and Julio Iglesias. (Willie and Julio actually performed a duet!) There was David BowieJim Morrison,Bruce Springsteen, Ozzy Osbourne and even Kermit the Frog.

In addition to showing us the versatility of his vocal talents, London also impressed us with his ability to play several musical instruments, including the trumpet.

He was ably backed up by Peter Supersano (keyboards) Chris Cook (drums), Barbara Leoni (guitar) and Danny Leoni (bass). He also has three lovely showgirls who can dance, sing, change costumes at an incredible rate, and even look cute in their ZZ Topbeards.
