The Rat Pack in St. Louis
I know this is odd for someone my age, but I am a huge fan of The Rat Pack, especially Frank Sinatra. Sadly, they did their stage show before my time and I’ve only seen it in a DVD I have (where they are actually performing in St. Louis at the Fox Theatre with Johnny Carson opening for them) as well as in the HBO movie The Rat Pack starring Ray Liotta, Don Cheadle, and Joe Montegna. When you think back at the time they were performing, these guys were the essence of cool. You had great music by Frank, Dino, and Sammy, along with great comedy to come together for a great stage show. It’s too bad I never got to see it. In St. Louis through the 14th of this month The Rat Pack is back. No, not the originals. That would be disturbing. Impersonators are on tour recreating the famous stage show that took place at The Sands in Las Vegas. This is something I wouldn’t mind seeing. If you can’t see the original, why not a recreation? Too bad I’m the only person under the age of 50 that would actually like to see this. I missed it the first time around, as I wasn’t born until 1983 and I’ll miss it this time as well.
Trust me you are soooooooo not the only person under tha ge of 50 who would like to see this. Have seen this show here in the UK in Europe and in the US I love it there is nothing like this sound live.
