If we do see it today it’s done for profit and popularity. They sort of paved the way for diversity in groups too, do you think that’s something we see much of today? For the older fans it’s a nostalgic journey, and for the newer fans it’s a chance to see and experience what all the hype was about back when the Rat Pack ruled Las Vegas. Our audiences vary in age, from the older patrons – who were fans of the original Rat Pack – to the younger fans – who are just now discovering the music and the whole concept of the Rat Pack. It’s almost as if we are presenting history in the form of a show. Not so much pressure but more a responsibility. Obviously the original line up featured such legends in the music scene for that time, do you feel a lot of pressure trying to recreate what they did? This music in timeless and is just as popular today as it was when it first hit the scene. Another thing that drew me to the tribute show was the music. He was the kind of guy all the guys wanted to be like and all the women just wanted to be with. He could sing, dance and be funny and had the sophistication about him that was so endearing. Dean’s charisma and charm were legendary. I remember when Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis would guest star on his show and they were no different in the way they acted when they were together, as my friends and I did when we got into mischief. Watching his variety show as a kid with my family I remember being so taken by a grown up dressed in a tuxedo acting like a big kid himself and having fun doing it. At the moment I’m just enjoying some quality time with my beautiful wife of 21 years Linda and my two cocker spaniels Dino and Cosmo.įirst things first, what first got you into the tribute show the Rat Pack?įirst and foremost I’d have to say it was my love and admiration for Dean Martin. I’m doing great and feeling very blessed and excited to he coming back to Australia. Hi thanks for taking the time to chat with Forte, how are you and what are you up to at the moment? But it’s not often the past gets recreated in the future and that’s exactly what the trio behind the Rat Pack From Vegas are doing. It’s natural for us to hold onto the past, after all, as human beings we’re sentimental creatures.
