The Official UK No. 1 Rat Pack Tribute Show, voted by The Agents Association of Great Britain for three consecutive years, comes to THORNDEN HALL direct from London’s Leicester Square Theatre, The O₂ and a Royal Command Performance.
Acclaimed actor David Alacey (known for Lovejoy and Inspector Alleyn) stars as Frank Sinatra, alongside West End favourite Tim Harwood as Dean Martin. They are joined by Jim Whitley, star of the hit BBC series Jamie Johnson FC, in the role of Sammy Davis Jr.
Now celebrating its record-breaking 27th year, this acclaimed production faithfully recreates the timeless music and magnetic stage presence of Sinatra, Martin and Davis. Audiences are transported back to the golden era of Las Vegas with a spectacular show featuring all the greatest hits, including My Way, Mr. Bojangles, New York, New York, That’s Amore, Come Fly With Me and many more.
The show is directed from the piano by BBC Musical Director Mac Shone, leading the Buddy Greco All-Stars. Buddy Greco, a close associate of the original Rat Pack who performed alongside Sinatra and Martin in Las Vegas (and famously spent the last weekend with Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe at Lake Tahoe), personally endorsed the production, stating:
“These guys are as close as anyone will ever get to my dear friends. It was just like being back at The Sands.”
Greco also contributes an authentic touch through a specially recorded guest appearance. Just as the original Rat Pack was often joined by surprise special guests at The Sands, this production recreates that magical element with glamorous appearances from the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Nancy Sinatra and Liza Minnelli.
Memories really are made of this.

“We may never see such greats as Frank, Dean and Sammy again in our lifetime, but the good news is that as long as such talented performers as these continue to exist, we may not need to.” — Chris Longhurst, Oxbridge Gazette
