The golden era of American Rock and Roll and swing music will be featured in June at the Sieminski Theater in Basking Ridge.
Two spectacular tribute concerts that will transport audiences to the golden era of American Rock and Roll and swing music will be featured in June at the Sieminski Theater in Basking Ridge, located on the campus of Fellowship Village.
The first show, Swinging with the Rat Pack on June 1 at 7:30 PM, is a musical celebration that re-creates the magic of The Rat Pack, featuring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.
The second show The Jersey Four and Johnny's Maestro's 16 Candles, on June 10 at 2:30 PM and 7:30PM, pays homage to two American Rock and Roll icons, The Four Seasons and Johnny Maestro. The shows are presented and produced by Gene DiNapoli.
Swinging with the Rat Pack is a fun-filled musical celebration that re-creates the magic of The Rat Pack and the incredible talents of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and 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.
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!
On June 10th at 2:30 PM and 7:30 PM, The Jersey Four and Johnny Maestro's 16 Candles will take audiences on a musical journey through the life and music of these legends whose music has stood the test of time!
