Just back from beautiful, downtown Burnley after seeing the ‘Ratpack Vegas Spectacular’.
Band were good.
Sammy Davis Jr was superb, a great effort by (ex Premier League and NI international, trivia fans) Jim Whitley. Top tap too.
Dean Martin sang well, despite resembling Dustin Gee rather more than the man himself and the bloke doing Frank Sinatra was the best of the lot, brilliant effort.
But.
It said ‘showgirls’ on the flyer.
And ‘Spectacular!’. In BIG LETTERS.
We got two girls.
Very nice they were too, but they had a lot of stage to cover & it was a very long gig.
They got a bit knackered,it all got a bit ‘Stonehenge’ and I got the giggles.
I couldn’t help thinking though, does two showgirls, three singers, a band and some stairs covered in carpet make a ‘Spectacular’?
Good night, but I can’t help thinking they’re a bit deluded ambitious with the advertising.
