Award-winning tribute to The Rat Pack heads to Long Eaton
"People can expect to take a trip back in time to the Golden Age of Christmas Television Spectaculars”
Award-winning tribute The Rat Pack: Christmas in Vegas heads to the Duchess Theatre later this month.
David Alacey, who channels his inner Frank Sinatra in the nostalgia fest, has appeared in Strictly Come Dancing, Lovejoy and 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" and 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!"
West End performer Tim Harwood (Dean Martin) and former Northern Ireland and Manchester City midfielder Jim Whitley (Sammy Davis Jr.) complete the much-loved trio. Tim has trod the boards at the London Palladium and is among the cast of Star Wars - Episode 1: The Phantom Menace while Jim's CV also takes in acting in Coronation Street and Jamie Johnson FC and painting portraits of Princess Diana and Sir David Beckham.
The Rat Pack: Christmas in Vegas takes place at the Duchess Theatre at 7.30pm on November 25. Tickets are available at duchess-theatre.com
