THE RAT PACK
CHRISTMAS IN LAS VEGAS!
Swing into the Christmas season with The Rat Pack and their famous
Christmas Concert. The Official UK No: 1 Tribute show as voted by The
Agents Association of Great Britain for three successive years, arrives
direct From London’s Leicester Square Theatre, The 02 and a Royal Command Performance.
The acclaimed David Alacey (Lovejoy & Inspector Alleyn) stars as Frank
Sinatra alongside West End favourite Tim Harwood as Dean Martin.
They are joined by the star of the hit BBC show “Jamie Johnson FC”
Jim Whitley as Sammy Davis Jnr in the original Rat Pack show, now
celebrating its 25th record breaking year.
Together they amaze audiences with their recreation of a vintage
Christmas at The Sands with Sinatra, Martin and Davis in this
sensational show which brings the style, glamour and excitement of the
Las Vegas heyday to vivid life. Including all the great hits - My Way, Mr
Bojangles, New York New York, Amore, Fly Me To The Moon and
seasonal classics such as Winter Wonderland, Let It Snow and of course White Christmas.
This yuletide treat for all the family, also features the fabulous Buddy
Greco All-stars under the direction of BBC Musical Director Mac Shone
at the Piano. Greco who was a member of the real Pack in Vegas and a
friend of Marilyn Monroe (having spent the famous last weekend at
Lake Tahoe with Sinatra and Marilyn) gave the show his seal of appoval
saying “These guys are as close as anyone will ever get to my dear
friends, it was just like being back at The Sands” He also adds an
authentic touch of Rat Pack style to the show, by making a specially recorded guest appearance.
Just as Frank, Dean and Sammy were joined on stage at The Sands by
surprise Special Guests, that element of theatrical magic is recreated in
this show with appearances by the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Nancy
Sinatra and Liza Minnelli adding even more glamour to this glitzy
production. Magical Christmas Memories really are made of this!
“We may never see such greats as Frank, Dean and Sammy again in our lifetime but
the good news is that as long as such talented impersonators as these continue to exist, we may not need to”
Chris Longhurst - Uxbridge Gazette
"I can honestly say that having toured with these guys, they are as close as anyone will
ever get to my dear friends – Frank, Dean and Sammy. At times it was just like being
back with my pals at The Sands in the sixties – so much fun and it really doesn’t get
any better than that. As for David Alacey – well this guy really is Sinatra – it’s frightening”.
Las Vegas Legend - Buddy Greco
“A fabulous journey back to days of Vegas style and glamour...This production superbly
recreates a unique chapter in Entertainment History"
John Judge - The Daily Telegraph
Rat Pack Christmas Review
“Boy have these guys nailed it”, said a male member of the audience when this tribute Rat
Pack first appeared on stage in Potters Bar.
And how right he was as this talented cast have the banter, the style and, most importantly,
the voices of the famous threesome.
It was easy to believe you had been transported back a few decades to the Sands Hotel in
Las Vegas and were watching an original Christmas special from these three giant talents.
The lovely seasonal set at the Wyllyotts Theatre added to the magical atmosphere and the
four-piece band were outstanding musicians.
Mr Alacey performs My Way with great panache and he has the Hoboken accent down to a
fine art as he introduces his buddy Dean who comes up with terrific lines like: “My mother-inlaw’s
86 years old. She doesn’t need glasses – she drinks straight out of the bottle” as he
performs hits like Little ‘Ol Wine Drinker and Everybody Loves Somebody.
David makes being Sinatra look easy as he glides through classics including You Make Me
Feel So Young, Fly Me To The Moon, I’ve Got You Under My Skin and New York New York.
This was a Yuletide show full of surprises and delights with no fewer than two special guests.
If you get a chance to see this exemplary Rat Pack tribute show (at any time of the year) don’t
miss it. These guys will make you believe you’re back in 1963.
