The Rat Pack - Live From Las Vegas is a stage musical produced by Flying Music that retells the tale of the big three of the Rat Pack - Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin.
The production has toured the UK three times as well as European and American tours.
The show began its successful West End run in 2003 at Theatre Royal Haymarket before transferring to Strand Theatre (now Novello Theatre). The original West End cast starred Mark Adams (Martin), George Daniel Long (Davis Jr), and Stephen Triffitt (Sinatra). In May 2005, the show transferred to the Savoy Theatre.
The show has performed twice in The Journal Tyne Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne.
A new limited season was performed at the Adelphi Theatre in London from September 2009 to January 2010 starring Craige Els (Martin), Giles Terrera (Davis Jr), and Louis Hoover (Sinatra).
It currently holds the record for playing in the most houses in London's West End as of July 2011. The production originally opened at the Peacock Theatre before transferring to the Theatre Royal Haymarket for a limited season. From there it went on to play a three-year season at the Novello Theatre before transferring to the Savoy Theatre. It reopened for limited Christmas dates at both the London Palladium and Theatre Royal Drury Lane before a Christmas season at the Adelphi Theatre in 2009. In 2011, it returned once again, this time to Wyndham's Theatre.
