Ol' Blue Eyes is back

This re-creation of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr's shows at the Sands Hotel --complete with a 15-piece on-stage band - has been proving to be very easy listening for audiences in the West End for over a year now.

The Rat Pack transcends its tribute show format with some highly impressive performances.

The actors playing Sinatra, Martin and Davis Jr in Mitch Sebastian's triumphant production are joined on stage by three backing singers and a storming big band, to recreate the eradefining shows that the trio gave at The Sands nightclub in 1960.

Stephen Triffitt is unsettlingly perfect as Sinatra: when he launches into 'The Lady Is A Tramp', it is as though Ol' Blue Eyes himself has returned from celestial retirement for one final farewell gig.

Two-and-a-half hours of vintage entertainment are guaranteed.

Strand Theatre 5 Aldwych, WC2 (0870 060 2335). Mon-Sat 8pm, mats Thur 3pm, Sat 4.30pm, booking to Sat 25 Sep, £12.50-£37.50.
