Arts and Entertainment Rat Pack Comes to Bradenton

BRADENTON — Three famous superstars who came together in the 1960s will be recreated at the Manatee Performing Arts Center this month. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. were part of a group of entertainers  known as “The Rat Pack.” From Vegas stages to the silver screen, the group was a major part of American popular culture that is still celebrated today, helping to make The Rat Pack Together Again! one of the most popular impersonator shows on the East Coast.
 
All of the Rat Pack's members have passed on, but their image is being carried on by three impersonators who assume the roles of the fabled singers during their glory days. The show comes complete with the onstage banter that is a true reflection of the presence that The Rat Pack offered the Las Vegas entertainment scene for years. This Rat Pack impersonator trio is more than a group of tribute singers, as they truly convey the persona of their subjects.

Tony Sands as Sinatra, Johnny Petillo as Martin and Geno Monroe as Davis not only perform the best of the Rat Pack songs, but they also sing some of the more intimate numbers that true fans have come to know and love. The show features everything from the individual hits of their early days to the memorable music created when these three singing sensations united.
 
The performance will be held at the Manatee Performing Arts Center in downtown Bradenton on Wed Jan. 21 at 2:00 p.m. Visit the website for tickets.
