THE RAT PACK
MAY 10 - HARMONIE GERMAN CLUB
Take a trip down memory lane with this stunning tribute to the Kings of Cool, the Bosses of Booze, the Sultans of the Vegas Strip – The Rat Pack.
Five highly acclaimed vocalists bring to life the very essence, charm and pizzazz of the original troublesome trio, Sammy Davis Junior, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, in a show that’s as timeless as it is magical. The show will explore the extended Rat Pack family, Judy Garland, Lauren Bacall, Ella Fitzgerald and more, to bring to life the Vegas entertainment of the late 60s.
Step back in time and hear the lush orchestrations of Quincy Jones, Sinatra’s favourite arranger and one of the most influential artists in modern music, as well as original arrangements from Nelson Riddle and Billy May, with all singers backed by Canberra’s premier professional big band, The Canberra Jazz Orchestra in their debut performance, replicating the classic 60s Southern California style of Sinatra’s favourite ensemble, the Count Basie Orchestra.
It’s The Rat Pack Show – five singers, two swingin’ sets and one hot big band in a night you’ll never forget.
