'The Rat Pack' Information
---------------------------
Legends of the 20th Century, idols of the music industry, superstars of the movies, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin are above all renowned worldwide for their talented voices. Their unique contribution to 20th Century popular music is second to none. Frank, Sammy and Dean all received critical acclaim quite late in their careers and it wasn’t until the late 50s and early 60s that they stormed the world and stayed at the top. As their recordings still constantly chart high throughout the world, these icons of American history, were a force to be reckoned with, an inexhaustible energy which is still very much apparent.
With a talented cast and 15-piece orchestra, this production takes a trip back to the glamorous, hot, glitzy nights of Las Vegas and brings the music and lives of the legendary characters Frank, Sammy and Dean together again.
