It stars ex-EastEnders actor Des Coleman, who played Lenny, as Sammy Davis Jnr, with original creator David Alacey as Frank Sinatra and Paul Drakeley as Dean Martin, with special guest Charley Toulan as Marilyn Monroe (pictured) and the LA Showgirls adding even more glamour.

The team promises “a special concert full of music, laughter and sophisticated style”.

A spokesman said: “The Rat Pack Is Back includes all of the hit songs made popular by the legendary performers such as Ain’t That A Kick In The Head, The Lady Is A Tramp, My Way, Mr Bojangles and, of course, New York New York.

“Since Robbie Williams first brought the music of these legends to a younger audience, there have been many Rat Pack-related shows.
