| - A terrific show that celebrates the nostalgia and swingin' era of Las Vegas in the 60's! Ahhh, those were the days, cats and kittens! This is my kind of music, and I thoroughly enjoyed every number from start to finish.
The opening sequence of clips from the Rat Pack era in Vegas was a great way to start, and I especially liked how they showed the implosion of the Sands, and then reversed the film, so it appeared to rise from the rubble to live again!
Like another Yelper stated, I could have done without the modern references added into the jokes here and there. Those sort of "broke the 4th wall" for me and ruined my ability to suspend my disbelief. Regardless, it was a toe-tapping good time.
My favorite was the singer/performer that portrays Dean Martin (who I have been crushing on since the 70's when I was a pre-pubescent girl glued to the TV every week for his variety show). Ladies, this man is so freakin' dreamy, and looks and sounds a whole lot like the real Dino.
The Frank Sinatra actor was amazing too, and I am a huge Sinatra fan, but I've always felt Dean Martin was the bigger talent, but that he was overshadowed by Frank's cachet and legend.
After the show, we had our photo taken with the cast, but I couldn't take my eyes off of "Dean" ... So the result was a great pic of the actors and my date, and me staring at "Dean" with my best goofy grin. Oh my ... Is it getting hot in here?
