Portland, Maine (September 23, 2011) — Experience the glamour of classic Vegas right here in Portland for the first and only performance of its kind. A tribute to the talented stars of the 1960s known as “The Rat Pack,” will play for one night only at the historic State Theatre in Portland, Maine on Friday, October 21 as a benefit concert for Casa.
‘THE RAT PACK IS BACK!’ will transport the audience back in time
to when four show business legends ? Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Dean Martin ? converged at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. This show, just like the original, will deliver style with substance, swing with swagger, and a non-stop party you won’t want to end!
Mickey Joseph (appearing as Joey Bishop), Drew Anthony (appearing as Dean Martin), Kenny Jones (appearing as Sammy Davis, Jr.), and Brian Duprey (appearing as Frank Sinatra) are back to do it “just one more time” with comedic routines featuring Bishop’s hilarious comedy and performances including Sinatra’s “You Make Me Feel So Young” and “A Foggy Day,” Martin’s “That’s Amoré,” and Davis’ “Mr. Bojangles.” Backing the singers is a swinging 12-piece live orchestra performing period-perfect music.
