The Rat Pack is back...

The boys are back in town! THE RAT PACK - LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS will return to the West End for a strictly limited season this winter during a UK tour. So don your best suit, slick back your hair and get ready for an evening to remember...

At the start of the 60s, The Rat Pack led by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. were the toast of Las Vegas. With the world’s rich and famous jetting in to see them joke around and sing some of the finest songs ever written, the guys also starred together in a series of glamorous Hollywood films, set fashion trends, rubbed shoulders with the US President, politicians and mobsters... and partied hard as the coolest cats on the planet.

THE RAT PACK - LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS recreates that special time.

Prepare to drift back in time to an era of glitzy nights spent on the Vegas strip in the company of three of the world’s most popular entertainers as the Olivier Award-nominated THE RAT PACK - LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS returns in triumph to the Theatre Royal, Haymarket - home to its first West End run in 2003 - for a strictly limited season from Wednesday 13 December - Saturday 3 February.

Press night: Friday 15 December at 7.30pm.

This spectacular production - with a very special Christmas theme until 6 January - celebrates the incredible singing talent of three world-famous entertainers and performers and some of the finest music and song that has ever been recorded. Frank, Sammy and Dean are once again performing in the world-renowned Copa Room at the famous Sands Hotel, supported by the fabulous Burrelli Sisters and The Rat Pack Big Band in a critically acclaimed show that clocked up over 1,000 West End performances on its West End premiere.

Frequently imitated but never bettered, THE RAT PACK - LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS features hit after hit, including Pack favourites The Lady is a Tramp, Mr Bojangles, That’s Amore, I’ve Got You Under My Skin, What Kind of Fool Am I?, Volare, My Way, Candyman, Everybody Loves Somebody and many, many more.

From 13 December to 6 January the show will have a Christmas theme and will include the Pack’s unique take on such festive classics as Baby It’s Cold Outside, Merry Little Christmas, White Christmas, Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bells and Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.

If you wish you’d swung with the hardest partying pack in town, now’s your chance!
