‘SANDY HACKETT’S RAT PACK SHOW’ ANNOUNCES ITS HOLIDAY PERFORMANCE DATES
AS THE CRITCALLY-ACCLAIMED MUSICAL HITS THE ROAD
FOR ITS NINTH SEASON
The Hit Show Kicks Off the 2018-2019 Theatre Season With Its Christmas Spectacular at Reynolds Performance Hall in Conway, Arkansas December 1
LOS ANGELES – The longtime-running hit, “Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show” is gearing up for its ninth season as it announces holiday performance dates as part of its 2018-2019 U.S. Theatre Season Tour. The critically-acclaimed show stars Sandy Hackett, son of the illustrious comedian Buddy Hackett, and his wife, Lisa Dawn Miller, daughter of legendary songwriter, Ron Miller. The two produce the show under their jointly-led production company, Hackett Miller.
“Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show,” which has stacked up rave reviews over the years, is a theatrical, musical production which recreates what it would have been like to see legendary icons, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Joey Bishop live onstage together. “God sends the Rat Pack back to do one last show. Even though they arrive in their prime, they are sent back to modern day so we get to weave current events into the show,” said Lisa who plays “Frank’s One Love,” a character based on Sinatra’s relationship with Ava Gardner.
Lisa continues, “Sandy’s father, Buddy Hackett, plays God. We recorded his voiceovers before he passed. Even though this is a book show, there is a lot of room for improv because that’s how it was with the real Rat Pack. Sandy is brilliant as Joey Bishop and brings the comedic genius that has made our show so successful.”
