Let the season Ring-a-ding-ding…with CHRISTMAS WITH THE RAT PACK – LIVE AT THE SANDS

Beat the winter blues with the holiday version of THE RAT PACK LIVE AT THE SANDS, especially created to heat things up for the coolest kind of holiday cheer.  This spectacular show celebrates the incredible talent of three of the world’s most famous entertainers, singing some of the finest music ever recorded. 

Drift back to a glamorous era with Frank, Sammy & Dean, a live 15-piece big band and the fabulous Burelli Sisters.  Enjoy the songs they made famous, like ‘Fly Me To The Moon’, ‘The Lady Is A Tramp’, ‘Mr. Bojangles’, and ‘That’s Amore’, along with seasonal favorites like  ‘Merry Little Christmas’,  ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’,  ‘Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer’,  ‘Jingle Bells’, ‘Silent Night’, ‘Mistletoe and Holly’,  ‘Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow’, ‘White Christmas’  ‘Winter Wonderland’ and ‘Love To Keep Me Warm’. It is the coolest holiday party in town!

This festive production will transport 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.  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.  Frank, Sammy, and 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, with an extra helping of holiday classics.

This sensational production celebrates the incredible talents of these three larger than life entertainers — legends in their own time.  There’s a fifteen-piece on-stage big band, and, of course, it wouldn’t be The Rat Pack without some fabulous broads: the beautiful back up singers/dancers, The Burelli Sisters.
