Rat Pack Review - Adelaide Advertiser - From Saturday 8th Ju

[majordag]

Perhaps Australia's modern-day answer to Frank, Sammy and Dino, Paul, Mikey and Sandy got up on stage and did what they do best: make us laugh. A lot. Actually a whole lot.

But following the show's name and program write-up - and judging by the cross-section of society represented in the audience - there may have been a few disappointing oldies leaving the theatre. This Rat Pack's similarities to the original stopped at the on-stage bar and McDermott's rendition of [i:post_uid14] Fly Me To The Moon[/i:post_uid14]. But that's not a bad thing; this show was hilarous.

When you see this team live, you see a whole other side to their routing, a side which can't be shown on television.

From Mikey's "musical bit" to Sandman's costume changes to Paul's, well, to Paul, the Rat Pack was fantastic. Some of the best moments came from the impromptu and the unrehearsed - ask those present about Japanese anal flower arranging. But the best was saved for last when the "Session musicians", led by Cameron Bruce, returned for a scorching [i:post_uid14] I Am Woman[/i:post_uid14], followed by the Rat Pack's musical tribute to Osama bin Laden which had to be seen to be believed.
