THREE'S A CROWD: From left, Bonaventure Allan-Moetaua, Rutene Spooner and Robert Enari recreate the Rat Pack.

Sinatra, Davis Jnr, Martin - what we would give to see these famous stars in the days where sentimentality ran supreme? Although those years have passed, Operatunity is giving you the chance to relive some of the magic of the Rat Pack.

Three of Operatunity's most charming and smooth performers will croon through some of the most famous songs by Sammy Davis Jnr, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. These three were key singers in the Rat Pack, a multi-talented set of America's most elite performers, famous on the Las Vegas strip in particular. Although they are known for a few capers, their songs are what really make us swoon to this day.

Audiences may recognise Robert Enari, Rutene Spooner and Bonaventure Allan-Moetaua from a few of Operatunity's other shows and will know that these gentleman have the style, confidence and talent to pay true homage to this timeless performers. From "Mr Bojangles" and "Ain't That a Kick in the Head", to "My Way" and "All of Me", the trio will present a smooth and fun show that will have you feeling nostalgic, and laughing along to some of their shenanigans. There will also be a light lunch served afterwards with a chance to mingle with the performers.

A Tribute to the Rat Pack will perform in Whanganui on July 28 at 11am.

Tickets are available now, so be sure to book ahead to experience the magic of the Rat Pack for yourself. Call toll free 0508 266 237.
