This starts a celebration of Rat Pack Songs! Dean’s set is up first. He welcomes the audience and introduces his new friends, here to help him celebrate opening night! Stars fill the stage as Vic, now in a tuxedo, rushes on to become our host! IT’S A WONDERFUL WORLD. We are now in the newly renovated THE RAT PACK LOUNGE.
The lesson is sinking in…all these years he was trying to sing like his heroes, The Rat Pack, but what he really needed to do was find his own voice.Īs the music plays, we jump to six months later. When they realize this will not work, Frank suddenly becomes angry at Vic, accusing him of taking life for granted! What Frank wouldn’t do to have one more day on earth! While Frank rants, Vic slowly sings MY WAY. They become almost drunk on the idea of living forever! They imagine their comeback! THAT’S AMORE, YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO YOUNG, I’M GONNA LIVE ‘TIL I DIE (REPRISE). This gives Sammy an idea…what if they make a deal with the devil so they can stay on earth forever! BYE BYE BLACKBIRD. As Vic and Angie get to know each other, our boys reminisce about the past, knowing, one day, they will be forgotten.
Angie explains how she’s been helping men all through history with her powers. When Katherine thinks she is being scammed, she tries to leave, but before she can get out the door, her body is taken over by Angie, an angel from above. They serenade our lovebirds with AIN’T THAT A KICK IN THE HEAD. This gives Dean an idea – they may not be able to convince Vic that life is worth living, but a woman sure could! YOUNG AT HEART. It’s a mess! Our three stars are doomed! Until Mr. Vic is now ready to put it all together and show us what he’s learned – COME FLY WITH ME. None of these are working so Frank tries once more with NICE ‘N’ EASY. Dean stops him… ‘You need to sing like this!’ Dean teaches Vic to sing with a smooth style with the song VOLARE.
THE RAT PACK SONGS HOW TO
Sammy is next, teaching him how to scat-sing with BEE-BOM. Frank has a brilliant idea! They will make him good! They will teach him how to sing! Frank goes first with the hit, MY WAY. When Vic comes to, he announces that he doesn’t care who they are, he is going to ‘end it all.’ His business is a failure, his love life is down the tubes, and he now knows he has no talent. Vic is finally convinced and immediately faints. In order to convince Vic who they are and that life is worth living, they sing – HIGH HOPES. Our three stars love being back on earth! I’M GONNA LIVE ‘TIL I DIE. Saunders’ Spanish speaking chauffeur, Jeorge Rodrigues, and Sammy feels right at home in the body of Bobby Goldberg, the bartender. Frank takes over the body of local developer, William Saunders. How do they do it? By taking over the bodies of three people who happen to be in Vic’s bar at the time. In order to secure their place in heaven, Frank, Dean and Sammy are forced to ‘go back down’ and right this wrong. God explains that no one can stay in heaven and be responsible for another human’s life. Now, some years later, without a hope in sight, Vic is ready to ‘off’ himself. Frank was just being nice, but Vic grew up thinking he could be the next Sinatra. Frank told Vic’s dad he thought his son had talent. Back when Vic’s dad ran the place, Frank, Dean and Sammy stopped by when their limo got a flat. God sets the stage and points our attention to Vic Candelino, the woebegone owner of Vic’s Place on the seedy side of Las Vegas. If not, they will be forced to spend the rest of eternity in the fires of hell with Peter Lawford! We are in heaven where God explains to Frank, Dean and Sammy that in order for them to stay in heaven, they have to fix a little white lie Frankie told when he was down on earth. The show opens with a nod to “It’s a Wonderful Life” as the stage fills with stars.
