Sinatra and Friends Rat Pack Tribute Show at Thrasher Park
When Dr. Pat Sallarulo isn’t fixing his patients’ posture at his chiropractic practice, he’s channeling Ol’ Blue Eyes. Sallarulo’s Sinatra leads the charge at this outdoor performance as he and vocalist Allen Wiltshire revisit the Rat Pack. Thrasher Park becomes a virtual Sands Hotel when Wiltshire does his best Sammy Davis Jr. The pair weave together classic songs and comedy. Adding to the mix are singers Lori O’Brien, Antonia Lawrence and Jeff Braner. O’Brien revives Marilyn Monroe and Liza Minnelli, Lawrence assumes the identity of Diana Ross, and Braner steps into the shoes of Elton John. It all comes together to musically cap off Memorial Day weekend in downtown Norcross. Pack a picnic basket and make it dinner and a show.
7:30 p.m. May 30. Free. Thrasher Park, Buchanan Street and Park Drive, Norcross. 678-421-2025, www.norcrossga.net.
