Few celebrity cliques were ever as iconic or cool as the Rat Pack, that original 1950’s Hollywood gang born out of Humphrey Bogart's entertainer friends Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Peter Lawford. All double, triple, or even quadruple threats on their own in music, film, (and in the case of Davis, dancing) each member oozed the kind of glamour and suave sophistication that has since influenced the generations of Hollywood leading men to this day. But besides the mythos of their personalities, the music of Martin, Sinatra and Davis are what people remember most. Tonight, tribute group The Pack! sing memorable classics by the trio, with a modern analog look-alikes (and sound-alikes) including some of their greatest hits. Backed by a swinging big band and lovely eye candy, The Pack! will surely remind you what made these legends so great.
