by

Rochesterians are getting not one but two Rat Pack-themed events Valentine's Day weekend.

Head to Blackfriars for "A Vegas Valentine," a comedic musical reminiscent of the Vegas variety shows of a bygone era. The show stars vocal impersonator Frank Torchio as Frank Sinatra, joined by the same cast that performed a similarly themed holiday show at Blackfriars in December. This is a Valentine's Day special that will run for only two days, so don't blink or you'll miss it. "A Vegas Valentine" plays on Saturday, February 14, and Sunday, February 15, at Blackfriars Theater, 795 East Main Street. 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday, 2 p.m. on Sunday. $35. bftix.org
