This light-hearted romance from the Golden Age of Broadway has been called “the perfect musical” by the New York Times.

As Higgins succeeds, Eliza becomes wise to his plot, and their love is put to the test.

The Rat Pack |
June 27 – July 14 |
at the Gateway Playhouse |
What happens in Vegas… all started with the Rat Pack. Direct from Las Vegas, this spectacular show recreates one of the famous “Summit at the Sands” nights when the swingin’, ring-a-ding group known as “the Rat Pack” was creating hipster legend with a free-wheeling, no-holds-barred nightclub act starring Vegas’ four favorite sons: Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dean Martin and Joey Bishop. The Rat Pack is Back features uncanny vocal recreations, unbridled humor, and is backed by The Black Tie Affair, a smoking hot, 12-piece orchestra that sends audiences straight back to the coolest time in history. Hits include “That’s Amore,” “My Way,” “Mr. Bojangles,” Fly me to the Moon,” My Kind of Town," "New York, New York," and many more. See why the Las Vegas Sun writes, “This is as close as anyone has come to capturing the feeling of the real thing,” and the Chicago Tribune raves, “Classic comic material. Excellent!”
