Fox Associates offers you the chance to beat the winter blues with CHRISTMAS WITH 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. CHRISTMAS WITH THE RAT PACK - LIVE A THE SANDS will be at the Fabulous Fox Theatre for a two-week limited engagement with performances from December 6-18.

CHRISTMAS WITH THE RAT PACK - LIVE AT THE SANDS invites you to take a trip back in time in the company of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. to the glamorous, glitzy nights of Las Vegas in the late 1950s and early 60s. Supported by the fabulous Burrelli Sisters and The Rat Pack Big Band, you will experience Frank, Sammy & Dean as they performed at the famous Sands Hotel. 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, White Christmas, Winter Wonderland and Love To Keep Me Warm.

The Sands Hotel was the very height of Las Vegas sophistication. It was there in 1960, during the filming of "Ocean's Eleven", when for the first time Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford performed together on stage. From then on, they were forever known as The Rat Pack. Las Vegas was their playground and everywhere else was known, in Rat Pack vocabulary, as ‘Dullsville, Ohio'. Frank, Sammy & Dean were a force to be reckoned with, an
inexhaustible energy that is as apparent in their music today as it ever was. This spectacular production 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.

If you wish you'd swung with the hardest partying pack in town, now's your chance! Featured in this production are Stephen Triffitt (Frank Sinatra), Mark Adams (Dean Martin) and Giles Terera (Sammy Davis Jr.).

Stephen Triffitt (Frank Sinatra) is the best known Sinatra performer in the UK. He first came to the public's attention when he appeared on Star in Their Eyes in May 2000. He won his heat, polling 400,000 votes - and a new career was born! Soon after Stephen flew to Atlantic City to star as Frank in a show called The Main Event. He returned from the States in June 2002, once again starring in The Main Event, this time for a three-month run, headlining at The Venetian on the Strip in Las Vegas, which was built on the site of the Sands Hotel. Stephen then embarked on a UK national tour of Frank, Sammy & Dean - The Rat Pack Live From Las Vegas. This led him to star in the West End, where the show was nominated for an Olivier Award, and ran for more than 1,000 performances.

Mark Adams (Dean Martin) was also part of the Olivier-nominated West End cast of Frank, Sammy & Dean - The Rat Pack Live From Las Vegas. He was then invited to Canada to open the show in its North American premiere at the Canon Theatre in Toronto. He recently toured the UK with his own show That's Amore!, a celebration of Dean Martin based on Dean's successful US TV variety show that ran for over 10 years.

Giles Terera (Sammy Davis Jr) previously played Sammy in Frank, Sammy & Dean - The Rat Pack Live From Las Vegas at the Strand Theatre and Adelphi Theatre. He also appeared in the West End productions of Avenue Q, Jailhouse Rock, 125th Street, and Rent.

This production has direction and choreography by Mitch Sebastian with vocal & music supervision by Matthew Freeman. Produced by Paul Walden and Derek Nicol for Flying Entertainment Ltd.
