Limited Engagement Begins February 25 at the Stranahan Theater

The Lincoln Mercury Broadway Series continues with THE RAT PACK IS BACK!, a tribute to the talented stars of the 1960s known as “The Rat Pack.” THE RAT PACK IS BACK brings Vegas to Toledo when it hits the Stranahan Theater February 25-28. Tickets start at $23.00 and are available online at theaterleague.com, all Ticketmaster outlets, or by calling 800.745.3000.

Experience the ritz and allure of classic Vegas with this swinging party of a show! THE RAT PACK IS BACK! transports the audience back through time and space to a balmy night circa 1960 when four show business legends -- Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop and Dean Martin -- converged at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas for the first time. These stars delivered style with substance, swing with swagger and a non-stop party to which everyone wanted access.

In THE RAT PACK IS BACK!, Frank, Sammy, Joey and Dean are back and do it “just one more time.” What ensues is an uncanny recreation of one of the Rat Pack’s raucous, antic-filled performances, featuring Bishop’s hilarious comedy and performances of such standards as Sinatra’s “You Make Me Feel So Young,” “A Foggy Day,” Martin’s “That’s Amoré” and Davis’ “Mr. Bojangles.” Backing the singers is swinging 12-piece live orchestra performing period perfect orchestrations.
