Highlights include classics such as “The Lady Is a Tramp”, “Me and My Shadow”, and “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head”, together with big band favourites like “Flight of the Foo Birds”, “Splanky” and “Sweet Georgia Brown”. With three outstanding vocalists and the full power of a 16-piece orchestra, the show captures the style, humour and energy of the original Rat Pack.
Musical Director Jonathan Wyatt said:
“We always love the Rat Pack show. The band gets to have a bit of fun on stage and it’s a rare opportunity to see an authentic line-up of all three Rat Pack singers with a full-sized Big Band. If you love the Rat Pack and the sound of a Big Band, this is definitely for you.”
