Get into the spirit of the festive season, Vegas style, with The Rat Pack and their famous Christmas concert.
Acclaimed nostalgia fest The Rat Pack: Christmas In Vegas arrives at Grimsby Auditorium later this month featuring David Alacey channeling his inner Frank Sinatra, Good Morning Britain and ITV News Central weather presenter Des Coleman in Sammy Davis Jr. mode and Paul Drakeley taking off Dean Martin.
David has impersonated Ol’ Blue Eyes on BBC One programme Strictly Come Dancing and at the 2004 Royal Variety concert. Jazz great Buddy Greco, who shared vocals with the Basildon-born performer for One For My Baby, said: “As for David Alacey – well this guy really is Sinatra! It’s frightening”. Meanwhile, the Sinatra Estate remarked: “His recording of the theme from New York New York for Atari Games is too close for comfort.”
“People can expect to take a trip back in time to the Golden Age of Christmas television spectaculars by the likes of Andy Williams and Perry Como,” said David. “In a show designed for all the family. Like those greats, The Rat Pack – Frank, Dean and Sammy – are synonymous with Christmas and as performers we look forward to the Christmas Tour throughout the year. We really can’t wait to get into the festive mood with classics such as Let it Snow and White Christmas. When audiences leave the theatre we make sure that they feel as though it really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!”

The Rat Pack will take audiences on a trip back to the glamour and excitement of the Las Vegas heyday with hits including My Way, Mr Bojangles, New York New York, Amore, Fly Me To The Moon along with seasonal classics such as Winter Wonderland, Let It Snow and White Christmas.
Just as Frank, Dean and Sammy were joined on stage at The Sands by surprise special guests, that element of theatrical magic is recreated in this show with appearances by the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Nancy Sinatra and Liza Minnelli adding even more glamour to this stylish production.
The Rat Pack: Christmas In Vegas takes place at Grimsby Auditorium at 7.30pm on Friday, November 29. More details are at grimsbyauditorium.org.uk
