BWW Reviews: CHRISTMAS WITH THE RAT PACK at the Fox Theatre
by Chris Gibson - Dec 10, 2011
A good cover band faces the challenge of living up to its audience's expectations every time they play a number that somebody else wrote and performed. But, no one can realistically expect even the best cover band to hit the mark every time. That's what makes Christmas with the Rat Pack-Live at the Sands interesting in the same way that Rain or the Australian Pink Floyd are. In each case there's a focus on a particular sound, but the Rat Pack may be the hardest to actually replicate. It was a frozen moment in time when Sammy, Frank and Dean came together to strut their stuff, usually accompanied by the comic routines of Joey Bishop. The current show playing the Fox Theatre imagines the Rat Pack (sans Bishop) performing a Christmas show, and it's complete with all the banter and manic antics one would expect.
