Rat Pack – Swingin’ at the Sands

Swingin’ At The Sands!

Take three great singers, add a dash of comedy and rousing camaraderie with a pinch of the greatest songs ever written and what do you get? A perfect night’s entertainment with ‘Rat Pack – Swingin’ At The Sands!’

This fully choreographed homage to the greatest performers in known history features stars of the hit West End show ‘The Rat Pack, Live From Las Vegas’ and features such favourites as ‘I’ve Got You Under My Skin’ and ‘Mr. Bojangles’, not to mention the numbers every audience can’t help singing and dancing along to, such as ‘New York, New York’, ‘That’s Life’ and of course ‘My Way’.

Alongside faithfully recreating the style, panache and wonderful vocals of these all-time greats, ‘Rat Pack – Swingin’ At The Sands!’ also brings its own brand of comedy and audience participation, making sure every party goes with a bang and leaving audiences wistfully wishing for the bygone days of the ‘Kings of Cool’.
