Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. share the stage once more in a “A Toast to the Rat Pack.” This musical journey will take you back to the hot, sparkling nights of Las Vegas where the Rat Pack ruled and no one could touch the shark skinned cool of Frank, Dean and Sammy.
With the talented cast of Sebastian Anzaldo, Andy DiMino and Lambus Dean as Frank, Dean and Sammy, you will experience iconic songs, great laughs and a spirit that brings the music and lives of these legendary characters together again onstage. Sinatra classics, “Come Fly with Me,” “Lady Is a Tramp,” “My Way” and “New York, New York.” You will sway to the soothing sounds of Dino with great songs like “Volare,” “Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime,” and “That’s Amore.” The night is rounded out with favorites from the dynamic Sammy Davis Jr including “That Old Black Magic,” “Mr. Bojangles” and “Candy Man.”
Sebastian’s crooning sounds of Sinatra will bring back memories of the late great Chairman of the Board himself. He was runner-up on the reality television series competition “The Next Best Thing” and has held long-run headline residencies at the historic Rivera and Westin in Las Vegas. He has brought the familiar Sinatra swagger around the world with tours to Canada, Italy, Spain, England, China, Australia, New Zealand and Bahamas. Showbiz Weekly says “Anzaldo resembles and sounds like a young, handsome Frank Sinatra.”
With a close physical resemblance to Dean Martin and an Italian background, Andy DiMino is a natural when it comes to portraying Dino. As a child, DiMino watched the “Dean Martin Variety Show” weekly on television. He later became a part of late night tv himself in a comedy sketch with Jay Leno on the “Tonight Show.” The love of music (his high school rock band opened for the likes of The Doors and Iron Butterfly) and a flair for singing and stage performance, DiMino brings Dean Martin to life in a way that would make “Frank” jealous.
Lambus Dean knew he was destined to be a part of an exciting group coming from a family of eight boys and three girls. His impersonation of Sammy Davis Jr is uncanny. He began singing doo-wop as a teenager and has played theatres around the world. His Temptations Tribute group was voted “Best Lounge Act in Las Vegas” and he was awarded second place in NBC’s “America’s Most Talented Senior.”
“Classic Vegas is alive and well from the guys who do it best.”
“Vintage Vegas lives!”

Garrison Keillor’s
A Prairie Home Companion 50th Anniversary Tour

Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Theatre | Doors at 7:00pm | Reserved Seating Only | VIP Package Available
GARRISON KEILLOR CRISSCROSSES THE U.S. WITH
A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION’S 50th ANNIVERSARY TOUR
Almost 50 years ago, Garrison Keillor hosted the first broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion, and the perennially popular weekly radio show remained on the air with its music, comedy sketches, and accounts of life in tiny Lake Wobegon (where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and the children are all above average).
Since the show ended, the author and humorist has continued to take the stage at venues nationwide — much to the delight of legions of fans.
In the coming months, Keillor takes A Prairie Home Companion’s 50th Anniversary Tour across the U.S., leading up to the half-century milestone in the summer of 2024.
Each show packed with stories, music, the one-of-a-kind audience sing-along intermission, Keillor’s musings on the topic of CHEERFULNESS, and the fan-favorite News from Lake Wobegon, Joining Garrison are charming singer-actor Christine DiGiallonardo, dazzling vocalist Heather Masse, the ever-popular Royal Academy of Actors (Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and sound-effects wizard Fred Newman), music director/keyboardist Richard Dworsky, and others to be announced.
Born in 1942 in Anoka, Minnesota, Garrison Keillor developed a love of writing in childhood. “I started out with a No. 2 pencil and pads of paper, then acquired an Underwood manual typewriter with a faint F and a misshapen O,” he says. Five years after getting a job in public radio “doing the 6 a.m. shift Monday to Friday, because nobody else wanted to get up so early,” he wrote a piece for The New Yorker about the Grand Ole Opry and got the idea to launch A Prairie Home Companion.
These days, his in-person humor-filled shows are a treat for folks young and not-so-young. He has written dozens of books —including novels, a book of sonnets, a collection of limericks, a memoir, a political homily, and most recently, Cheerfulness. His biweekly online column can be found on Substack.
