Description
Inspired by the music of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin, Ori Dagan’s The Rat Pack Songbook show is a brand new program which echoes the swing and swagger of “the coolest cats of all time.” Without resorting to impersonations or gimmicks, the program focuses on the entertaining songs of the era, from Mack the Knife and Mr. Bojangles to Sway and My Way. Each show is unique in that it features special guest vocalists; past participants have included John Alcorn, Steven Taetz, Donovan Locke and David Statham.
The Rat Pack Songbook Show is presented in two sets. The first set introduces the audiences to Ori Dagan, the band and the special guest vocalists, while the second set features duet performances and a finale trio song. Unlike traditional “tribute shows” the program does not imitate any members of the Rat Pack, opting instead for authentic renditions of the selected songs in tribute to the long-lasting impact, influence and inspiration of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.
