This is popular entertainment at its best - and one that richly deserves its West End run" The Daily Telegraph "The Rat Pack presents us with what pretends to be a concert at the Sands Hotel, Las Vegas, staged by three of the celebrated hell-raising rodents - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr. It could easily have been a lowering experience, but thanks to high-powered performances and an agreeable corny ambience - which includes some shapely showgirls - it turns out to be fun... And although you can see Sinatra's rendition of 'My Way' coming towards you all evening, I must admit that when it finally showed up I rather enjoyed it."
