With successes in Edinburgh, Beijing, Berlin and London, THE TAP PACK is a high energy, tap comedy show inspired by the infamous “Rat Pack” which included the famous talents of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr.
With dazzling performances on stage, dressed in slick suits and equipped with sharp wit, The Tap Pack is a modern twist on the classic Rat Pack. They infuse tap dance with swing music and witty banter. The Tap Pack is a highly entertaining act featuring some of Australia’s finest tap dancing performers tapping up a storm. With credits on stage, film and television and with over 20 musical theatre productions between them, The Tap Pack is pure entertainment.
They sing. They dance. They joke, bringing a new, invigorating energy to a timeless style.

Media Review
They have perfected every move and the tap dynamics. This has seen them garner great acclaim, nationally & on the International stage as well. They’ve played London Edinburgh Fringe Festival &received standing ovations in Berlin. Add to that the fact that they dress in suits, look sharp, and sing up a storm, and you have the perfect night’s entertainment. (Read More)

Media Review
Lots of wonderfully energetic ensemble routines. I preferred a solo dancer’s tributes to Sammy Davis . and Fred .... simply brilliant. When one of the Pack taps out beats and time signatures to entice the band to join in was a clever mix of music and dance and great theatre. Tap dancing is a joy to watch. Breathtaking in complexity and agility. (Read More)

Tap Dogs made Dein Perry a millionaire. The Tap Pack deserves the same. “Sen-bloody-sational evening” shrieked the social media before the applause had even died down. Incredibly hardworking and uber-talented performers sing and dance and jump and jive in this absolutely infectious confection. (Read More)
