Xmas Rat Pack Returns for Two West End Shows

Now a familiar fixture in the West End’s festive calendar, Christmas With the Rat Pack – Live from Las Vegas is returning again this year, for two performances only at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

The show, which features Stephen Triffitt, Mark Adams and George Long as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr, will play a matinee and evening performance on Sunday 19 December 2010.

Christmas With The Rat Pack, which was launched in 2004 following the success of The Rat Pack, features seasonal favourites including a Christmas carol medley, “Jingle Bells”, “Rudolph”, and “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”, as well as many of the guys’ classic tunes including “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”, “That’s Amore”, “Fly Me to the Moon”, “New York, New York”, “Volare” and “That’s Life”.

Triffitt, Adams and Long are all veteran Rat Pack performers, having starred in previous West End runs of the show at the Strand Theatre and Theatre Royal Haymarket.

Currently at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, Rupert Goold’s record-breaking revival of Oliver! closes on 8 January 2011, making way for the West End transfer of West End transfer of Shrek the Musical, which opens on 7 June 2011 following previews from 1 May.
