The Rat Pack Is Back
"They were arguably the four sexiest men in the world; certainly the most powerful men in the entertainment industry. They were the new film idols, recording czars and the powerful magnate who attracted millions and millions of people to Las Vegas where they helped pave the casino floors in platinum. They were so beloved and embraced by western civilization, the world referred to them only by their first names, a custom theretofore reserved solely for royalty. Some referred to their kingdom as a worldwide corporation of talent with their own Chairman of the Board. Their names were Frank, Sammy, Dean and Joey," state press notes.
The show is set in December 12, 1961 - Frank's 46th birthday. During the evening the four perform and celebrate on stage in Las Vegas. The songs they sing are those that made the Rat Pack internationally famous -- "Luck Be a Lady Tonight, "One for The Road," The Lady is a Tramp," "What Kind of Fool Am I," "The Lady is a Tramp," Mr. Bojangles," "Birth of the Blues," "Volare," "You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You." Their friend and protégé is a rock idol named Bobby. He joins the celebration and serenades the birthday boy with some of his hits including "Mack the Knife and "Beyond the Sea."
