The Rat Pack

October 14-19, 2008

THE RAT PACK - Live at the Sands is the hottest and coolest party in town. After four unprecedented years on London's West End, this acclaimed production vividly recreates a legendary evening at the Sands Hotel with the most famous performers of our time: Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Dean Martin.

THE RAT PACK - Live at the Sands transports the audience to the early 1960s, when Frank and his pals were filming the original version of the casino robbery caper Ocean's Eleven in Las Vegas. The Sands Hotel was featured prominently in the film which included solo performances by Frank, Sammy, and Dean. The Rat Pack legend was born when Frank and Dean spontaneously joined Sammy on stage and, to the surprise and delight of the audience, playfully interrupted his act. On subsequent nights the three of them were on stage together. There were hi-jinks and horseplay. They crooned, they quipped and they rolled out the gags right along with their on-stage liquor cart.

Director and Choreographer Mitch Sebastian re-creates the magic that was the Rat Pack on stage. Performers Stephen Triffitt (Frank), David Hayes (Sammy) and Nigel Casey (Dean) evoke all the glamour of that notorious nightclub gig when the audience was glittered with the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Gregory Peck, Judy Garland, Tony Curtis, Sam Giancana and Jack Kennedy. It's an evening of wisecracking, hip-cat nostalgia: a cool mix of sharpies and broads singing some of the finest music ever written.

This sensational production celebrates the incredible talents of these three larger than life entertainers - legends in their own time. There's a 15-piece on-stage big band, and of course, it wouldn't be THE RAT PACK without some fabulous broads: Meet Anna Carmichael, Lucie Florentine and Andrea Winglelaar as the beautiful back up singer- dancers The Burelli Sisters. Audiences will swing and swoon to the Rat Pack's signature songs: “My Kinda Town”; “Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime”; “Fly Me to the Moon”; “Me and My Shadow”; “What Kind of Fool am I”; “Mack the Knife”;  “The Lady is a Tramp”; “I've Got You Under My Skin”; “That Old Black Magic”;  “That's Life”; “Mr. Bojangles”; “That's Amore”; “Sway”; “Volare”; “My Way”; “New York, New York”; “One For My Baby”.
