This spectacular festive production celebrates the incredible singing talent of three world famous entertainers and performers - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr - and some of the finest festive music and songs ever recorded.

Legends of the 20th Century, idols of the music industry, superstars of the movies, they are to this day renowned worldwide for their talented voices.Their unique contribution to 20th Century popular music is second to none.

They all received critical acclaim quite late in their careers and it wasn't until the late 50s and early 60s that they stormed the world and stayed at the top. And their recordings still constantly chart high throughout the world.

They were pioneer entertainers of Las Vegas. Triumphant in their success, their love was performing live at their favourite venue The Sands. Frank, Sammy & Dean made The Sands famous due to constant appearances as performers, spontaneous and scheduled, their zany banter and jokes pulled on one another on and off stage and at their parties. When The Rat Pack was in town everybody had the best of times and everybody made money!

Now, with a talented cast and 15-piece orchestra, take a trip back in time to the hot, glitzy nights of Las Vegas and celebrate 'Christmas With The Rat Pack - Live From Las Vegas'. Experience Frank, Sammy & Dean's world famous classic recordings and much more in this sensationally staged production that brings the music and lives of these legendary characters to life again.

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