Swinging with the Rat Pack is a fun-filled musical celebration of that re-creates the magic of The Rat Pack and the incredible talents of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin & Sammy Davis Jr. This show is as close as you can get to hanging out in the front row of the Copa! Timeless classics come to life—like “Luck be a Lady”, The Lady is a Tramp,” “Candy Man” and “That’s Amore”—in between spontaneous, interactive ad-libbing that mirrors the iconic original group‘s performances. Along with a whole lotta ring-a-ding-ding!

The show captures the look, sound, irresistible charm, and chemistry of the one and only “Rat Pack” – Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.!  When this trio hit the stage, it was always a “swinging affair”!  They were enormously talented entertainers and were the coolest cats to ever play in Las Vegas…or anywhere for that matter! Just like the original Rat Pack, the show is completely spontaneous and full of ad-libs…making it a must-see…over and over again!

With an incredible cast of the best performers in the business, Swinging with the Rat Pack has been hailed as the next best thing to seeing the original Rat Pack Live!

A native of New York City, Jesse Posa (Frank Sinatra, The Chairman of the Board) is one of the leading Frank Sinatra impersonators in the country. He has performed as “Frank Sinatra” on stage at Radio City Music Hall, in the Off-Broadway production of “Sinatra & Friends” and at BB King’s in Times Square NYC in “Party with the Rat Pack”.

Joe Perce as Dean Martin, The King of Cool, in pure Dino fashion and wit, swaggers around the stage with a martini glass glued to his hand. Perce is a talented performer with hundreds of TV, Broadway, and movie credits and 25 years of improvisational comedy. He has been portraying Martin for over 20 years.

Lloyd Diamond revives Sammy Davis Jr. and his “Mr. Bojangles” dance moves. Diamond is a celebrity impersonator and comedian who has appeared on the “Comedy TKO” segment on “Showtime at the Apollo” and Comedy Central’s “Chappelle’s Show” and America’s Got Talent.

These extremely talented artists bring the songs, the laughs, and the charisma of Frank, Dean, and Sammy back to life in “Swingin’ with The Rat Pack.”

Posa, Perce, and Diamond have been delighting audiences with their humorous antics and song stylings for over a decade. Performing to sold-out crowds in casinos, theaters, clubs, and entertainment venues across the country. Audiences have applauded the chemistry of that of the original Rat Pack!
