Transport yourself half way around the world and 40 years back in time to witness the Rat Pack in their heyday in this mesmerising production.

Join Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. in Las Vegas circa 1962 in this rip roaring tribute to three of the world's greatest musical legends. Tam Ward kicks the show off as Frank Sinatra with his astonishing sound-a-like voice ‘rolling a seven’ with a performance of “Luck Be A Lady”.  As he follows with a few Sinatra classics it quickly becomes clear that he is no 'one hit wonder'.  Close your eyes and you would swear that ‘Old Blue Eyes’ was in the room!  Jason Pennycooke is next up as Sammy Davis Jr.  His rendition of Mr. Bojangles holds the audience spellbound.  Finally, we are entertained by Nigel Casey as the inimitable Dean Martin.  As charismatic as the great man himself, Mr. Casey captures our hearts with 'Amore'.  The principals then return with solos, duets and trios from a seemingly endless immortal repertoire.

While the success of this show clearly relies on the talents of the leading trio, they are ably supported in all departments.  The backing singers harmonise effortlessly and raise the temperature with alluring choreography that is firmly rooted in 1962.  In fact, all aspects of this production scream 1960s authenticity with atmospheric lighting and costumes setting the scene while the 15 piece band (naturally heavy on the brass) bowls the audience over with their bold sound.

The principals tie all of these elements together by recreating the famous camaraderie of the legendary trio with jokes, stories and goofball antics.  The audience truly feel transported in time.  The Rat Pack are not in town for long so don’t delay your call to the box office!
