Dean Martin…the captivating voice, the easy charm, the relaxed wit – This is the charismatic persona of the all time “King of Cool” And Chris Gardner just might be the world’s best Dean Martin tribute artist. That’s what the critics said when he stormed Vegas as the surprise star of the “The Rat Pack is Back”, production, soon after returning to San Francisco to headline the touring production of “Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show”.
This guy inhabits Dean Martin from the moment he takes the stage: A suave, ultra-cool, witty, always loveable lady-killer. Chris shows up to party- dressed to kill in an impeccable vintage tuxedo- and then delivers the goods with perfect Dino mannerisms and dead-on vocal renditions-and of course the ever-present bottomless cocktail.
Chris is so precise in his mannerisms, voice and comedic abilities, that it's easy to believe he's the genuine article…and you WISH Dean Martin were here so you could be him…or go home with him!
Dean heats up the night- replete with drink and cigarette, with some quick verbal repartee and fine turn of phrase with several songs, including the signature "That's Amore".
