Rat Pack are back

THE memorable music of the Rat Pack returns to Manchester when Frank, Dean and Sammy do it their way in the show built around the famous entertainers.

The Rat Pack Live From Las Vegas is a new production, destined to draw the fans to the Palace for a week-long run. It is a nostalgic journey back to the 60s with the performers who, for a brief but glittering period, let the rest of the world in on their private world.

The original Rat Pack featured Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford but it is the first three who really captured the public's imagination. They were all established stars - Sinatra in particular was riding the crest of an enduring international wave of poularity - when they first teamed up as friends who occasionally performed together. But this was often in glitzy Las Vegas, the gambling and entertainment centre in the Nevada desert, so this was where thousands flocked to witness their smooth musical and comedy routines.

The musical features many of their most famous songs in a sophisticated show the guys would have loved.

It runs from Monday to Saturday. For tickets ring 0870 401 3000.
