“Boy have these guys nailed it”, said a male member of the audience when this tribute Rat Pack first appeared on stage in Potters Bar.

And how right he was. David Alacey (as Frank Sinatra), Paul Drakeley ( Dean Martin) and Des Coleman ( Sammy Davis Jnr) have all the swagger, the banter, the style and, most importantly, the voices of the famous threesome.

It was easy to believe you had been transported back a few decades to the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas and were watching an original Christmas special from these three giant talents.

The lovely seasonal set at the Wyllyotts Theatre added to the magical atmosphere and the four-piece band were outstanding musicians.

Mr Alacey performs My Way with great panache and he has the Hoboken accent down to a fine art as he introduces his buddy Dean who comes up with terrific lines like: “My mother-in-law’s 86 years old. She doesn’t need glasses – she drinks straight out of the bottle” as he performs hits like Little ‘Ol Wine Drinker and Everybody Loves Somebody.

It comes as little surprise to find out that Des, known for his many T.V appearances including the role of Lenny in Eastenders, has performed in the show as Sammy Davis Jnr for over ten years years. He has the mannerisms, dance moves and powerhouse jazzy vocals of the great entertainer; and his performances of What Kind Of Fool Am I and Candy Man were a joy to hear.

David makes being Sinatra look easy as he glides through classics including You Make Me Feel So Young, Fly Me To The Moon, I’ve Got You Under My Skin and New York New York.

This was a Yuletide show full of surprises and delights with no fewer than two special guests – singer, actor, composer and all-round family entertainer Kenny Lynch; and Charley Toulan who transformed into a stunning Marilyn Monroe.

If you get a chance to see this exemplary Rat Pack tribute show (at any time of the year) don’t miss it. David, Paul and Des will make you believe you’re back in 1963.

  • We may never see such greats as Frank, Dean and Sammy again in our lifetime but the good news is that as long as such talented impersonators as these continue to exist, we may not need to

  • I can honestly say that having toured with these guys, they are as close as anyone will ever get to my dear friends – Frank, Dean and Sammy. At times it was just like being back with my pals at The Sands in the sixties – so much fun and it really doesn’t get any better than that. As for David Alacey – well this guy really is Sinatra – it’s frightening
       
    Las Vegas Legend - Buddy Greco
  • A fabulous journey back to days of Vegas style and glamour...This production superbly recreates a unique chapter in Entertainment History
