[“The Rat Pack is Back”] is as close as anyone has come to capturing the feeling of the real thing!”, exclaimed The Las Vegas Sun.

Experience the ritz and allure of classic Las Vegas with this swinging party of a show! “The Rat Pack is Back” transports audiences back through time and space to a balmy night in 1960 when four show business legends – Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Joey Bishop and Dean Martin – converged at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas for the first time. These stars delivered style with substance, swing with swagger and a non-stop party to which everyone wanted access.
“The Rat Pack is Back” unites four of the country’s most accomplished singers/actors with Mickey Joseph appearing as Joey Bishop; Drew Anthony appearing as Dean Martin; Kenny Jones appearing as Sammy Davis, Jr. and Brian Duprey appearing as Frank Sinatra.
In “The Rat Pack is Back”, Frank, Sammy, Joey and Dean are back and doing it “just one more time.” What ensues is an uncanny recreation of one of the Rat Pack’s raucous, antic-filled performances, featuring Bishop’s hilarious comedy and performances of timeless standards including Sinatra’s “You Make Me Feel So Young” and “A Foggy Day,” Martin’s “That’s Amoré” and Davis’ “Mr. Bojangles” – all with the backing of a swinging 12-piece live orchestra performing period perfect orchestrations.
“The Rat Pack is Back” is produced by Dick Feeney (Viva Las Vegas, Showgirls, The Great Gleason).
